Dynamic Pass And Finish Mini
- Technical
- U6 to U8
- 5–12 players
- Attacking
- Finishing
Setup
You will require: 6 balls / 1 mini goal / 2 mannequins / 4 poles / 5 cones, Set up 1 mini goal and a cone 12-14 meters out, create a 2x2 box using cones/poles/mannequins between the first cone and goal, 1 player on the cone, 1 player in between the two box cones closest to the goal, 1 player each behind the cones closest to the start cone
How it works
1st player feeds into the attacker closest to the goal, they lay the ball to the player either to the left or right and move forward away from goal, the opposite player runs in behind to receive the next pass and finish. For example play to center then lay to left and play through to player on the right, rotate with each shot

Progressions
progression: Change the pattern of play or introduce a defender for when the ball is played through regression: Remove two players in the box and simply receive on the half turn to finish, then add players to increase complexity
