Crosses



Organization

  • Split field players into three groups as shown. Alternate places after each sequence.
  • Wide players dribble around forward cone and cross the ball.
  • Twin strikers move off their cones and decide who will attack which space (near or far post).
  • Strikers try to score, keepers attempt to cut off cross or save shot.
  • Can progress by adding defender(s) and more attackers.
  • Coaching Points

  • Attacking
    1. Encourage good quality crosses into the near and far post areas.
    2. Crosses to near post should be low and driven
    3. Crosses to the far post need to be bent away or chipped over the keeper's head.
