The session is designed to train players to play penetrating passes to forward players and to follow up with runs forward. These forward players are referred to targets in this session and are often lead players that are playing with their backs to the attacking goal. The practice setting is a 40x60 area that is bisected with a vertical line down the 60 yard length and then 4 horizontal lines, making for eight 15x20 grids. Flat cones are used to create the grids. The session is designed for 16 field players.
Players stop and stretch as needed.
Play is changed to a two-man combination that will figure into the session. In this scenario, B is playing a similar role of the target player to be used in the session. After a few rounds, rotate players. Coaching points include second attacker's positioning to receive pass from first attacker and the making of the forward pass to the target player. Variations can use restrictions on ball touches or players who receive pass from target.
