FineSoccer Drill 20

This is a continuation from Drill 19.  Start the exact same way (see diagram below):

This time, O1 has the ball and dribbles at O2.  O2 does a takeover (click here for work on takeovers) then passes to O3 and overlaps around O3.  O3 has the option of either finding the overlapping O2 or O1 on the other side.  Either way, the player takes the ball to the corner and then crosses to near post / far post runners.

As soon as their is a loss of possession, the same thing starts up on the X's side. If there is a bad shot, this will force the X's to work on receiving balls as well as doing all of the other work.

There are so many advantages to this series of drills and if you think about it, there are almost an unlimited number of variations you can do from this set up.  

I simply wanted to introduce these two drills and let you think of the rest on your own.

Next is one of the hardest games I have seen but also one of the more beneficial drill as well.
