- As diagram.
- Player A passes to player B, who passes back for player A to cross.
- Player B passes to area 1, 2 or 3 according to the coaches instructions.
- Alternate sides.
- Players stand in lines at D and E, they work as a pair
attacking the cross.
- The purple player is the recommended coaches position. Have two defenders
ready in bibs for later on.
Winger
After first pass look up, on return
cross first time, don't run around the ball, hit it side on. With the delivery
from area 1, aim for the second 6 yard box.
Centre Forwards
You have to
get into the box as quick as possible. Just get there, one should go near
post and one should go penalty spot, but there is no need to cross.
Demo
Delivery's, where do we want them.
Can it go low and hard in front of the keeper into the 2nd 6 yard box. Between
the last defender and the Keeper.
Can it go long and curved to the back post. Etc.
Progression 1
Opposite server B hits the back post. Player C alternates
with B. Now we are covering the near, middle and back post. Crossing player
can now have a touch before crossing.
Progression 2
One defender now joins in with the attackers. Alternate
the defenders one at a time. The defender must pick up one of the attackers.
We now have 2 v 1 in the middle plus one coming in at the back. Now deliver
from area 2. Player B should pass further down the line. Look for a low
cross in front of the keeper and behind the defender. One cross should not
beat all, so the furthest player from the ball should assess the flight
of the ball before sprinting in. If the ball misses everyone can we check
back out for the cut back. Always play to the death.
