Warm-up exercises: crossing accuracy 2

Drill Description

• Three numbered cones are set up in front of a goal with goalkeeper.
• Two wing attackers stand on the sideline.
• The other players wait in the midfield. Each has a ball.
• The first midfield player plays a long ball to one of the wingers and starts running toward the goal.
• The winger passes directly to his/her partner, who then dribbles to the endline.
• The midfield player calls out a number, and the winger plays the cross to the corresponding cone.

Coaching Tips

• 1: Low cross to the front cone. Shooter shoots directly with head or foot.
• 2: Cross to the middle cone. Shooter quickly controls the ball, then shoots.
• 3: Cross to the rear cone. Shooter dribbles in, creating a 1 vs. 1 against the goalkeeper (or another defender).
