Set up the drill
Mark out an area 40 yards x 30 yards, with a goal and a goalkeeper. You need four cones and four players, one on each cone.


How to play the drill
- Player 1 passes to player 2 then defends 1v1.
- Player 2 and player 3 play a 2v1 against player 1.
- Player 4 dribbles and crosses for players 2 and 3 who attempt to lose player 1 and score.
Move players on so player 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 3 and so on.
