Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Possession game where the team in possession must play into one of three target players positioned around the pitch. Drills line-breaking passes and recognising the right moment to penetrate.
COACHING POINTS
• Keep the ball moving — sideways and backwards are fine, but always with a forward intention
• Recognise when the target player is free — and play it immediately
• Don\'t force the killer pass — wait for it
• Targets must move to find space — never stand still
• Once the target is found, recycle and look again
Progression: targets must lay it off back to a team-mate in two touches. Add a fourth target.
Regression: targets walk only, no defensive pressure on them.
