Description

Session Objective:

In week 13, we are looking at the second of the 4 attacking plays we are hoping to use. Cutbacks are one of the easiest ways of scoring, provided the players can time their runs, attack with speed, pass with quality and shoot on target.

Screen 1 (10 mins)

Set Up: mannequins as defenders, coaches feed in balls

Instructions: coaches feed in quality passes and players run in and finish. The player can go our and around a mannequin and re-enter the 18yd box a second time to receive a second pass from the coach on the other side.

The next runner leaves when the player in front enters the 18yd box the FIRST time.

Variation/Progression: one shot or 3 shots could be taken, or players could start their runs from different locations.
