Soccer drill to coach speedy attacks

Set up soccer coaching drill

You need to set up a 40 yards by 30 yards playing area using four cones and a goal. Use four players and a goalkeeper.

How to play the soccer drill

• To start, the defender runs out and receives a pass from the central player.

• The defender quickly turns and shoots at goal.

• As soon as the defender has taken a touch, the left-sided player passes into the central player.

• The central player now switches the ball out to the right-sided player.

• The right-sided player dribbles down the line and crosses into the box.

• The left-sided and central players must try to lose the defender and score.

How to rotate your players

• The left-sided player becomes the central player.

• The central player becomes the right-sided player.

• The right-sided player becomes the defender.

• The defender becomes the left player.
