Crosses and high balls: the set-up from above

How it works

The coach or a player crosses from the side; the keeper comes to catch or punch. Call early and loudly. No heading for younger players.

Make it easier

Gentle crosses thrown by hand

Make it harder

Add an attacker and a defender in the box

Less planning. More coaching.
