the ball wide to the
winger, then follows
and takes his place.
Station 2, the
wide player checks
for the ball, turns
and passes the ball
to the player at
station 3. Station 3,
the player lays the
ball back for the
wide player to cross
(preferably on his
first touch).
The wide player move
onto station 3. The
player at station 3
moves to the
opposite side to
station 1.
The attacking player
alternate attacking
the goal in pairs.
