A short spoken walk-through of this drill.

Goal
Execute quick, one-touch combinations ending in a powerful, accurate shot on target.
Setup
Place 4 cones in a rectangle at the top of the 'D'. Two cones at the corners of the box, two further out. Players A, B, and C line up vertically facing the goal, with A farthest from goal.
Drill Instructions
1. Player A passes to Player B. 2. Player B one-touch drops the ball back to Player A and immediately sprints to either far top corner cone. 3. Player C reacts by sprinting to the opposite top corner cone. 4. Player A passes the ball to Player C. 5. Player C lays the ball off into the path of Player B. 6. Player B finishes with a first-time shot on goal. 6. Switch roles and repeat
Coach Tip
Keep your body open when receiving so you can see both the ball and the goal simultaneously.
Avoid
Standing flat-footed or waiting for the pass to arrive before starting your run.
