Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Finishing Activities

Screen 2 (10 mins)

Setup:

• 10 to 12 players
  
• Setup cones on the 18 yard box spaced about 10 yards apart
• Balls
• A player positioned at each side of goal on the 6 yard box and another player in the center of goal between the penalty spot and the edge of the 18 yard line
• All other players in 2 lines stationed behind the 2 cones

• The player beside goal on the corner of the 6 yard box passes diagonally across the box to a player waiting at a cone.
• The player at the cone triggers the pass by moving around the cone as shown in the diagram.
• The player receiving the ball passes the ball to the player in the centre with a one-touch. She then waits for the pass to be made from the player in the center to the player at the opposite cone.
• The player to receive the pass from the center takes a shot on goal as she strides into the pass.
• The players at the cones join the line on the opposite side
• The next pass is made from the other side of goal.
• Switch the passing players and player in the center after 10 rounds.

Coaching Points:

• Accurate passing is a necessity to ensure success
• Attack the ball and space before striking the ball
• Balance using an arms out stance before striking the ball
• Have a quick glance at goal when attacking the space
• Eye on the ball when striking the ball
