Set-up
Two stations: one for each wide side. Winger receives from a server, turns, beats a static then semi-active defender in a channel, and finishes on a small target. Defender starts 3 yards off; goes live after 3 reps. Rotate wide players through both sides.
Coaching points
- Wright: set the defender on the outside shoulder, fake the cross, cut inside and hit early
- Brooks: use the first touch to create the angle — if your touch is poor, the defender wins before you start
- Asante: pace is your weapon but sell the dummy first — raw speed into a set block gets you nowhere
Progressions
- Add a second defender arriving from behind to simulate tracking fullback recovery
- Require the winger to decide at a cone whether to cross or cut — coach calls the option late to force quick reads
