Organization:

- In a 20x20 yard area, we work in groups of 6-8 players. The four players inside start in the positions shown and we have 2 extra players outside. Each player follows their pass after their action is complet.

Player C passes to Player D who moves off the cone and returns the ball straight back (one-two). Player C moves across and plays the ball into Player D's path who runs for the ball played into space and plays into GK hands or feet and progress to a shot on target.

-Create space before moving to meet the ball.
