Organizing the drill:
Diagram A
Place players X(i), X(ii) and X(iii)
outside the big box on the left
hand side of the field as shown
in Diagram A.
Place a goalkeeper in goal.
Place another set of players on
the outside of the big box on
the right hand side of the field
to do the same exercise (but
from the right).
Practising the drill:
Diagram B
Player X(i) passes to player X(ii),
who returns the pass back to
player X(i).
Player X(i) then plays a ball in
the path of the run of player
X(ii), who strikes the ball first
time at goal.
Diagram C
Player X(ii) now returns to
the back of the line after
his shot.
Player X(i) now moves into
the position outside the big
box and gets ready for the
pass from player X(iii), who
has moved up in line, and
player X moves into the
position of player Xiii.
(See Diagram C.)

Coachs Note
Quick, accurate passing
is needed in this drill.
Ensure players regularly hit
the target.
Players must pass to the
shooter in a manner that suits
the timing of his run.
Do not pass the ball behind
the players run or too far
ahead of him.
