In this skill-focused session, players will work on improving their ability to deliver early crosses in a 3v2 semi-opposed setting. The practice takes place on a playing area that spans the full width of the pitch, with a designated line placed 30 yards from the goal, as shown in the diagrams.

Team A consists of wing-backs, while Team B comprises two centre-backs who start on the designated line. The coach initiates the practice by playing the ball to a Team A wing-back, who is limited to two touches: one touch to control the ball and another touch to execute a cross. The cross aims to find a striker and the opposite wing-back positioned to attack.

Upon the coach's first pass, the Team B centre-backs are allowed to drop back to create a defensive challenge. In Diagram 2, the coach plays the pass to the wing-back again, but this time the decision to cross to the striker is altered, requiring the wing-back to play the cross over the defenders.

Notably, the centre-backs are restricted from tackling or pressing the wing-backs during the practice. Instead, they can only engage in blocks and clearances in the centre of the pitch.
