A crossing decision practice where the goalkeeper must read delivery height, pace, traffic and starting position before choosing to claim the cross or stay and prepare for the next action.

Organization
Use one goalkeeper, two wide servers and two or three attackers in the box. Deliver varied crosses from both sides. Some balls should be clearly claimable while others should force the goalkeeper to stay.
