Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Penalty Area with 1 full size goals as shown in Diagram 1.
• 2 cones set outside the 18 yrd box which act as start points for each line A and B.
• 1 cone centrally just inside the 18 yrd box where a supporting/lay-off player will be positioned.
• 2 cones positioned wide of the 6 yrd box corners.
• This exercise can be performed with a GK or coned corners of the goals (i.e. 3 yrds inside each post).

Instructions

• The first player in Line A (A1) passes into A2.
• A1 follows a lay-off from A2.
• A1 shoots on goal from distance with a driven shot. A1 then replaces A2.
• A2 then spins off and makes a checking run towards A3.
• A3 plays a short 1-2 with A2.
• A3 takes an angled shot on goal (generally aiming at the far corner of the goal). A2 replaces A3 who returns to one of the start lines.
• The exercise is then performed on the opposite side with player A4 being involved. Players should finish all rebounds.

Scoring

• 1 goal = Scoring on the full size goal normal.
