Set Up:
Player 1 passes up to Player 2, and then makes a blind side run to lose the defender and receive the pass back from Player 2. Player 1 then touches the ball thru for Player 2 to run onto and finish. During the drill, the players rotate from passing to finishing and back to passing.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play - Extra touches will throw off the timing of the run to goal.
2. Passing - Make the last pass as close to the attacker's feet as possible.
3. Vision - On the thru run, get your head up ASAP and spot the GK.
Progressions:
1. Add another line of attackers to give Player 2 another passing option.
