Finishing
**2 in the box
1. near cross - 2 lines outside of top, 1 line on each side (with balls) of penalty area.
 Go - 1 player from each of top lines moves to goal box, receives pass from near side and
 has 2 touches to score.  Switch lines.
2. far cross - 1 player from each of top lines moves to goal box, receives pass from far
 side and has 2 touches to score.
3. near header - 1 player from each of top lines moves to goal box, receives toss from near
 side and heads into goal.
4. near volley - 1 player from each of top lines moves to goal box, receives toss from near
 side and volleys into goal.
5. long shot - near side player passes to top player who 1-touches into goal.

Patterns
**3 Across the Top - 3v0 patterns
1. straight - 2 wing, 1 center near midfield, center w/ ball, offsides line w/ cones.
go - Center sends 1 wing, other wing makes far post run, 1st wing centers.  Must stay onside!
Coaching points as above.

2. basic weave - 3 at midfield, center w/ ball.  center sends wing and leads w/ short pass.
center overlaps that wing and receives pass down the line.  Center continues and looks
to cross to wings making post runs.
Coaching points: communication between wings on runs, 3rd player timing run.

3. V - 2 wings near midfield, center near offside line, back to goal, wings w/ balls.
Go - wing pass give-and-go with center.  center curls away and makes post run.  wing can
then shoot, or cross to center or far wing.  Add: sometimes when center receives first pass
wing calls "turn" - center turns and shoots.
Coaching points: accurate passing, preparation of receiving surface, move away from 
(pretend) pressure, solid 1 or 2 touch shots, shot selection
