Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Finishing Drill (Start Time: 2019-12-13 12:10:00)

Finishing (15 mins)

Primary Technical Focus

Creativity in Final Third

Organisation

Area Size - 20 yards wide x 30 yards long, with an extra 10 yards each end for Goalkeepers.

Area split in to two.

Ensure lots of footballs for repetition

Players

Split in to two groups of 8 players including Goalkeepers

If only 1 Goalkeeper, just use one area

Timings

5 x 2 Minute Blocks, 1 Minute Recovery used to reset the footballs.

Explanation

Player 1 passes in to Player 2 who turns and has a shot at goal.

Player 3 then passes to Player 2 who lays the ball back to Player 3 for a shot.

Player 4 then attacks Player 3 in a 1 v 1 situation.

The cycle then continues with the players rotating their positions, eg Player 1 moves to Player 2 cone, Player 2 to Player 3 cone, Player 3 to Player 4 cone and Player 4 to Player 1 cone.

Conditions

Keep track of how many goals are scored in each group to make it competitive.

Progressions (Challenge Further)

Limit amount of touches players have to get their shot away.

Put a time challenge on the players (eg, shot off in 3 seconds or less).

Regressions (Challenge Less)

Take the 1 v 1 out and just have Player 3 laying off to Player 4

Take Goalkeeper out to just encourage success initially
