ORGANISATION: |
- 10,7 stand in the start position.
- 5, 8 will crash the centre of the 6yrd box for rebounds and follow-up.
- 4 holds the eadge of the area for rebounds and attempted clearances.
- 3 holds a wide position to a quick outlet if unmarked.
- 9,11 will be the players collecting the chipped ball behind the wall and are positioned near the edges of the defending wall.
|
INSTRUCTIONS: |
- 7 and 11 set-up as if they are going to hit a long direct shot on goal.
- Instead one of them chips the balled behind the wall where 9 and 11 make early runs to meet th chipped pass.
- 9 or 11 would finish from this position.

|
KEY COACHING POINTS: |
- This is a hard technical skill to pull off under pressure (i.e the chip over the wall).
- The chip should be played with back spin to drop in behind the wall and not run through to the GK.
- The chip must be performed with a lot of disguise (i.e. faking a long shot) so that the GK remains close to their line.

VARIATIONS: |
