Set-up

Three-man combination ending in a shot: CAM plays a one-two with a winger, receives the return, lays off for CF to finish. Reset and repeat on both sides. Volume of shooting reps, clean technique, moderate pace.

Coaching points

  • CAM and CF understand the movement — Carlson sets it up, Mentzer finishes it
  • Shooting technique: plant foot beside the ball, clean contact, pick a corner
  • Don't rush the final pass — the right moment is better than the fast moment

Progressions

  • Add a GK to the target goal for live saves and rebounds
  • Introduce a late runner from midfield as a third option in the box
