Overlap Build Up To Cross And Finish

Setup

You will require: 4 balls / 10 cones / 1 goal, Use half a pitch based on age group, Set 4 cones in a zig zag pattern 5 meters apart with 2 cones wide and 2 more central including start, set one player on each cone, 1 player starts on halfway and another as goalkeeper

How it works

Label cones as A/B/C/D, Passing route is A - B - D - C, Player B Overlaps cone D after the pass into crossing position where they receive from player C at the end of sequence, player C goes to cone D, Player D goes around cone C and into area to score

Progressions

progression: Add 2 defenders and 1 attacker in the box regression: Pass to from cone A-C-D and play to Player B on the overlap (Reduces required passes)
