Crossing and finishing 3v2 drill

The purpose of this drill is to encourage players to score from wide areas of the pitch

• 10 x 15-yard area with two 2.5 yard channels
• 1 big goal
• 3 smaller goals
• 5 players (2 defenders, 3 attackers)
• 5 soccer balls

The attackers will always start with the ball behind the small goals and get 5 attempts to get as many goals as they can.

The attacking team will get a bonus point for each rule they score by.

If they score a goal where the assist came from a channel that will be 1 point.

If they score a goal where the finish was a first-time finish that will be 1 point.

If the defending team wins the ball they will get a point if they are able to score in any of the 3 smaller goals on the opposite side.

• Use the whole width of the area when attacking (make the field as big as possible)
• Find a space to support the wide player either forwards or backward
• As a wide player be confident to get away from the defender and deliver a cross as early as possible

• When you are attacking do you want to be close together or spread out?
• If you do not have the ball where can you go to help support the wide player?
• When you get the ball as a wide player what should your first thought be?
