Set Up:
12-15 players are set up in the attacking third, with players starting at the cones. The Feeder begins play with a pass outside to a midfielder (Player 1 or Player 2). The midfielder crosses to his teammates in the penalty area, and they try to finish 2v1. As soon as the midfielder strikes the cross, a defender (Player 3) speed dribbles up the sideline, and the midfielder must chase him down before he scores in the small goal. The Feeder alternates service to both sides during the drill and a new group rotates into the penalty area every five minutes.
Coaching Points:
1. Look up and check the target one last time before striking the cross.
2. Begin the finishing run when flank player looks up to check the target.
3. Get shoulder to shoulder with the dribbler in order to trap him on the sideline.
Progressions:
1. The defenders speed dribble out of both corners.
