Meeting the ball on the run to take in behind and finish

Description

In this session we are focusing on meeting the ball on the run to take in behind and finish. The drill begins with the coach passing into the player who sets back and repeats on the opposite side of the cone. The player then checks their shoulder and moves to the vacant cone/pole. As the player reaches the cone, the coach looks to pass the ball in for the player to open out and pass to the blue player. The blue player aims to set the ball into space first time for the red player to move across the pitch to meet the ball and take it in behind to finish. The blue player then moves to the opposite side for the drill to be repeated. The red player should ensure that the touch in behind goes away from the body to enable them to accelerate onto the ball and finish.
