Information
- Player on the half way line, plays into the man opposite him. He then arcs his run towards the centre of pitch, whilst the player who has just received the ball, lays the ball into the player far left. He then plays back inside into the first man, and continues his run down the channel. The first man plays a through ball in front of the wide player, who must deliver a cross into the 18 yard box.
- Once players one and two have released there passes, it's important that they move effectively, and quickly into the box.
- Once this has been completed, the ball gets thrown out by the Goalkeeper, back into the first man to start the process all over again.
- If you have enough, then the second go will be on the right hand side (group 2).
