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
