Setup

The keeper plays a pass out to a wide player, and you run 1v1s on both flanks at the same time. The attacker beats the defender off the dribble and finishes with a shot.

1)Grab two balls. The keeper plays a pass to a player on either the left or right side.

2)The attacker drives forward on the dribble and works free of the defender’s mark.

3)They read the moment to get in behind and open up the space.

4)Once they get close to goal, they use their body to create the shooting angle.

5)They finish with an accurate shot. The other side runs its rep at the same time.
