Set-up
Three stations running simultaneously: (1) Cross and finish — wide player delivers, two forwards attack; (2) Through-ball in behind — CM plays the ball, forward runs on goal; (3) Second-ball — keeper parries into the box, midfielder arrives late. Two GKs rotate. Max effort every rep.
Coaching points
- Forwards: attack the near post first, peel to far post if it isn't your ball
- Timing of the run — be in the box as the ball arrives, not before
- GKs: distribute quickly after a catch to start the next rep — sharp hands
Progressions
- Add a token defender to each station to introduce pressure
- Condense rest time between reps to push fitness alongside technique
