3 wave finishing drill

A drives at cone and finishes far post. Then recovers to Defend B, who starts their attack upon A's shot. 5 seconds to score. 

One B shoots, A continues their Defense as C attacks down wing. Must stay outside box and either finish far post or pass to B who continues their run for a 1T finish. 

All players shift roles A>B>C>A when they return to lines and all must gather their balls before returning to line

SSG - attacking the final third 20"

dimensions - 1/3 pitch (corners cut off) and line cutting field in 1/2 (attacking 1/3 and middle 1/3 of field)


Focus team (Red Team)

  • Attacking team- 7 outfield players + 1GK or coach to start play and pivot (focus team - red team)  Playing in a 1-2-2-3(1-4-3-3 - removing FB + DM) 
  • Defending team 6 outfield players + 1 GK playing in a 1-4-1-1(if no Gk puggs in goals)
  • Defensive players and Attacking 5 and 6 are locked into their zones. 

Objective - Attacking team combines w/3 passes in middle 1/3 and then attack wide areas. Look to create overloads by shifting play in middle 1/3. Red 8 and 10 from middle 1/3 can join in attacking 1/3 to make it 6v4

Team has 15 secs to score

tactical solutions:

  • for Red 6 receive from an angle so it opens up space for the supporting player
  • for 8/10 to step into midfield third depending on what side the 6 is opening up to
  • for 9 to shuffle with the ball, by stepping in between the centre back when the ball is central or between the FB and CB as the ball moves from left to right
  • for wingers to step into the midfield line when the ball is on their side
  • If D's win it the can go straight to puggs (if no GK) or big goal and must score in 10 seconds. 
    Ball dead if either GK saves or ball goes out of play. 

technical solutions:

  • to receive on the back foot
  • to open up the angle
  • to be able to show supporting movement
  • to be able to make underlapping and overlapping movement
  • to be able to look for a through ball

Challenges, conditions, & targets -

  • if a goal is scored from outside the box = 3 points
  • if a goal is scored from a cross = 2 points
  • if a goal is scored from inside the box = 1 point

Progression 2 - attacking team to play centrally and creating overloads

Progression 3 - attacking team to have freedom
