view description
- Objective
  
  To practice movement and runs on and off the ball to create space and opportunities for through balls.

  Problems to Watch Out For
  
  Lack of creative interplay between strikers or between the striker and the midfielder, and also lack of runs into space.
  
  Why This Works
  
  This develops an understanding between strikers and among strikers and midfielders.
