Situation 3: Coming from the side, attackers are lined up laterally and teammate 2 starts with the ball (inside player)
Drill Description
-
The player with the ball dribbles with speed towards the defender
-
His/her teammate overlaps him/her
-
About 2 yards prior to the defender the player with the ball passes to his/her teammate
-
The teammate dribbles with speed towards goal and tries to finish
Coaching Tips
-
If the first player with the ball is being defended head on, he/she can pass the ball to his/her teammate (focus on timing, not too soon and not too late)
-
If the defender pushes towards the middle too soon, teammate 2 can opt to go to goal himself/herself
