Organisation
- X1 beats the Defender on the wing and
crosses early into the prime target area.
- Two forwards and one Defender run
in to meet the cross.
- You must get lots of crosses in so make sure your winger
has a good starting position, ideally an overlap taking him clear of the
Defender.
- The Full-back should apply little pressure to begin with, more as
you progress.
Progress to
- Two Forwards and two Defenders running in,
- Cones are moved to the edge of the area so the winger gets to the
byeline,
- Another Attacker running in and looking for the pull back.

Key Points
- First touch.Look up after every touch because the picture might change.
- Observation,head up
- Full Back,His pressure depends on where and when to cross.
- Goalkeeper.If the Goalkeeper is on the near post then the far
post cross is the better option.
- Strikers.Play the Ball in front so they can attack it.
- Decision of cross.
- An early cross best between the last Defender and the Goalkeeper
is best.Low driven because the Ball arrives quicker than a lofted cross.
- Position of Goalkeeper.
- Bending the Ball might eliminate the Goalkeeper.
- Technique of cross.Head height and below.
When crossing from the byeline,
- If space between the last Defender and Goalkeeper then a low driven
hard cross between them.
- If Defenders are back and adjusted we must eliminate them,therefore
chip to the back post or pull the Ball back to a supporting player.
- End product.Plenty of good attitude.If you don't buy a ticket you
can't win the lottery.So be brave.
