© CoachTruly.com
Description
The goal is to pass between the defenders to the attacker, who avoids the offside and finishes with one or two touches. The first pass can be preceded by e.g. a small dribbling course. Cones can be used as "defenders" in this drill.
Coaching key points
Avoiding offside and timing the run. Finishing.
Progression
How do you position yourself before the pass to avoid offside and gain advantage over the defenders? Did I time my run correctly? How can you improve your finishing in this situation?
