Set-up
Two channels set up simultaneously, one per flank. RB and RW combine against one passive defender to get a cross or cutback into a central striker. Mirror on the left. Six reps each side then rotate. Coach observers both sides — assistant takes one.
Coaching points
- Trey: the run is great but the decision at the end is the job — cross or cut back based on what you see
- Cole: overlap or underlap — read Trey's body, don't run the same pattern every time
- Striker: movement into the box must be timed to the delivery, not early
Progressions
- Add a second defender so the channel becomes a real 2v2 before the cross
- End product must be a finish — add a goalkeeper to raise the stakes
