Set Up:
Two teams of six players are set up in the attacking third, with a 2v2 in the penalty area and eight players stationed at the cones. During the drill, the eight players at the cones feed balls into their teammates, who attack the goal 2v2. If the defending team wins the ball, they finish on the two small goals set up just outside of the penalty area. After eight scoring attempts, the winning team stays on and the loser switches out. Keep a total team score during the drill.
Coaching Points:
1. Check away from the passer and run back into the space you created.
2. If a defender loses patience and reaches around, turn away from him and go to goal.
3. If a 1v1 attack stalls, look for the overlap or the takeover/heel pass combinations.
Progressions:
1 Progress to 3v3.
