Key Factors

Organisation

Each of 4 manequins on top of box has a dif colour bib
4 different quick fire finishes
1. Coach calls a colour - player checks to that manequin and then receives pass in tight area - takes ball on turn out of central area and finishes sharply
2. Checks to feet - takes touch around manequin for sharp turn on the angle
3. Marks sharp near post run for first time finish (ST), CM receives pull back to pen spot - 1st time finish
4. Reset run for cross in the air
Rotate player after each set
Spare player at 2 - rotate clockwise
Each Player gets one set each side on each progression - keep score, change sides
Progression: 2. Pass to feet - back - 2 plays in behind - ST runs onto ball for angled 1v1 finish
Scoring - 1pt for goal, -1 pt for over cross bar, -1pt for poor contact, 1 bonus pt if you score all 4

Key Factors

Quality of 1st touch to set up finish
Quality and weight of pass to set up teammate for one touch finish
Timing of box runs - arrive with balance- chest over ball
Focus on contact using the pace of the ball to direct it
Dont smash the ball - focus on precision
Finish rebound
Red cones indicates that first player in must break the line at the front to draw defenders and attack 6 yard box for tap in or to create space for pull back

Organisation

1. A-B-C - touch around manequin finish - repeat other side
2. A-B-C-B - finish - repeat other side
3. D-A - touch finish - repeat other side
4. A-B comes inside - A overlaps - crosses for C,D, E to make box runs - C near, E far, D pull back - must have all runs covered
Repeat with players in same spot but other side starts so cross comes from other side
Players rotate position
Points - 1 pt goal, -1 pt over cross bar, -1 pt poor contact
