Diagonal Lead to Space

Focus
Forward line delivery.
Skills
Kick Long.
Purpose
Sometimes a forward can't lead directly towards the ball carrier, as the space in front of them is occupied, so an angular lead is required. This drill practices leading diagonally into space, and kicking long to that player's advantage.
