Introduction (10 mins)

Organization:

- Area of play will be the central channel of the attacking third.

- 2 wider pugg goals in order to place finishes.

- 3 lines, rotation is A-B-C.

Instructions:

- Player from line A passes into player B, who controls and tries to score into the mini goals.

- After player B finishes into the mini goal, he/she receives ball from player C and finishes once again.

- Encourage the inside of the foot, so that players get the feel of placing the finishing with more control.

- Shooters shouldn't take more than three touches between the first touch and the final product.

Coaching Points/Questions:

1. Can I come in and check in to ask for the ball? (player B)

2. Can I control and adjust my body, with my hips pointing at the target?

3. Can I have my hips facing the desired target and open my shooting foot (as it is pointing to the side)?

4. Can I turn quickly, look up and hit the target?

Progressions:

1. 1 point for every finish (2 minutes)

2. 3 points for a 1-touch finish (4 minutes)

3. 5 points for a weak-foot finish (4 minutes)

4. Start from other side (5 minutes)
