Avoiding offside with finishing
CoachTruly
© CoachTruly.com- Description
Drill for learning offside. Cones represent opponent players.
- The drill starts with the blue player's pass to the red player in the center.
- The red player plays to the black player, who gives a return pass back to the red player.
- The red player plays a through ball past the cone. The black player runs around the cone, timing their run so they are not offside.
- Finishing.
Rotation always one step forward following the passes.
- Coaching key points
- The run is timed to the moment of the pass, not before. The player scans the cone (defensive line) before making the movement.
- Progression
- Where on the line were you when the pass was made? Did the pass come at the right time for your movement or did you have to wait?
