Controlling the Ball + Finishing

  • Age U14 - U19
  • Training Set End
  • Number of Players 10-15 players

Setup

• 6 cones

• 1 goal (which can stay at its usual position) and 2-3 rotating goalkeepers

• all available balls

Two cones, one cone on each corner, will be placed on the edge of the 5-yard box and on the length of the baseline and 16-yard box.

The last 2 cones will be placed about 5 meters behind the penalty area (see graphic).

All balls should be at the cones near the goal line.

Procedure

One player plays a precise pass to the last cone behind the 16-yard box.

The player positioned at that cone takes a good first touch into space, so that his second touch can immediately be his shot on goal.

Players should try to shoot from outside of the 16-yard box.

Tip

Coaching Points:

• First touch, second touch, and finish should be a flowing procedure

• should be played as a Finishing Competition
