Crossing - Team Crossing Drill

Crossing the ball into the box from wide areas is a key skill for all players to learn. The ability to cross the ball on the run will create goal-scoring chances for your team. The key is finding the right line, power and curl on your cross so it comes down out of reach of the goalkeeper in the right area for the attacker to score.

Start by placing the rebounder in the penalty area and line your team along the touchline. the players now take turns crossing the ball into the box. Aim to cross the ball in so that it hits the spot on the rebounder and bounces into the goal. Start focusing on accuracy and then build the power of the cross. Once your team is delivering the ball into the right area then start crossing the ball on the run. Once the team can cross accurately on the run then introduce a goalkeeper.
