Activity Flow
What is the flow and rules of the activity from start to end?
1. Action starts with the crossers – player 1 passes the ball to player 2 who plays a pass into the run of player 3
2. In the same time two strikers (player 4 and 5) have to watch their run and timing
3. Player 3 crosses the ball to the strikers in the centre who try to finish
4. After the action: the roles of the players do not change (strikers remain strikers)
5. The players who cross the ball, everyone follows their pass so that someone else crosses every time
6. When the action is over, the next action starts from the other side
Organization
1. Divide the players into 4 groups with different roles – 2 x crossers, strikers and defenders (crossers need 3 players – 6 players in total, strikers should be divided into two groups of 2 players – 4 players in total, as defenders 2 players are enough)
2. Place the players according to the image
3. Set up 4 mannequins for orientation and to indicate the offside line
4. Use the entire width of the pitch
5. Action starts approx. 30m from the baseline
Coaching Points
1. Focus on the crosses: From where? When? Which technique? – Take the first contact diagonally to the goal, cross with the second touch, timing of the run behind the defence and timing of the cross (look into the centre, are the strikers ready?)
2. Focus on the finishing: Look at the runs and the timing – you have to do an interchange, the player away from the ball goes to the first post and the player near the ball runs around the other striker and takes up the position at the second post, finishing on goal (accuracy is more important than power)
3. Focus on the technique to finish: Where is the defender? Where is the goalkeeper? – you can cut back or slide a cross
4. Communication is very important between players, players need to learn to communicate and observe each other’s roles and adjust their timing accordingly (for example, strikers need to keep an eye on the crosser to avoid missing the cross)
Variations
1. Start without defenders to address coaching points one and two
2. When players get into rhythm, add defenders and address focus three
