Low-Driven Crosses

Improve strikers’ ability to react quickly and finish cleanly from low-driven crosses.

Use the final third of a pitch with mannequins/cones simulating defenders. The coach or a server will start the drill with an initial pass to initiate movement. Players will rotate positions to ensure different finishing opportunities. Drill Execution: 1. Build-up Play: - The coach or server plays a pass to Player A, who passes forward to Player B and immediately begins a run into the crossing position. - Player B lays the ball into Player C’s path & continues their run into the box. - Player C sets up Player A, who delivers a low-driven cross into the penalty area for Player B to finish. 2. Reaction Finishing: - The coach or server immediately plays a second ball into Player C. - Player C, now face-to-face with a mannequin (defender), executes a quick move to create space and takes a shot on goal.
