Set-up

Wide player dribbles to a cone near the endline and delivers across. Two forwards attack the box and finish. GK in goal. Alternate delivery side every few reps. Coach feeds the wide player to start.

Coaching points

  • Wide player: get your head up before you deliver — know where the runners are
  • Forwards: near post and far post runs, not both going to the same spot
  • First-time finish if you can — the longer you take, the harder it gets

Progressions

  • Add a retreating defender to the box — forwards must time their run to beat the recover
  • Wide player can choose to cut inside and shoot instead of crossing — defender must react
