Delivering accurate crosses from wide is a key part of any team’s armoury and the better your players become at it, the more effective your team will be at creating goalscoring opportunities.

Set up a triangle of cones: The first (1) just to the right of the D, the second (2) 10 yards to the right and the point of the triangle (3) 10 yards inside the area.
A fourth cone (4) is placed centrally two yards inside the penalty area and a line of players wait behind it.
Player 1 passes to 2 who passes to 3; 1 has run through and takes a pass from 3, takes a touch or two and crosses for 4 to attack. After each cross, players rotate to a different cone.
Variation 1: Repeat the drill on the other wing.
Variation 2: Move cone 4 so it’s nearer the goal or not central so crosser has to vary his delivery.
