Possession is switched from one wing to the other, then the new wide player crosses immediately while the opposition is still recovering. Drills speed of attack from switched play.
• Switch must travel fast and accurate — driven, not floated
• Receiving winger takes a positive first touch toward the byline
• Don\'t pause — cross immediately, defenders are still shifting
• Cross delivery target depends on the runners arriving
• 'Early cross' often better than working to the byline
Progression: add defenders shifting across. Cross must beat the first defender on the back-post side.
Regression: no defenders, players walk the switch and cross.
