Try to move the ball quickly, using a maximum of one or two touches. Try to get players to use one touch passing and only to depend on a second touch when they have to control a poor pass.

Players should try to finish by taking into account the goalkeeper's position and the best place to put the ball. Players should always be alert for rebounds and poor clearances.
