Finding the Line with a Finish

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: Six cones form two rectangles; behind them stands a mini goal.

Equipment: 1 mini goal, 6 cones and several balls.

Players: There is one player in each rectangle; plus Players A, C and D.

Procedure

Variation 1:

  • Player B determines the direction by dropping away to one side.
  • Player C shows for the ball on the other side.
  • Player A passes to Player C, who lays the ball off to Player B.
  • Player B passes to Player D.
  • Player D takes the ball with the right or left foot and finishes; then this player rejoins the queue.
  • Player A moves into the first rectangle, Player B into the second and Player C goes to the target cone.

Variation 2: Same sequence as in Variation 1, but Player D does not finish, instead laying the ball off to Player C; Player C finishes after one touch.

Tip

  • Player B drops away to one side in an open body position.
  • Player A dribbles forward and plays the ball firmly to Player C.
  • Player B follows the ball as soon as Player A has played the pass.
  • Make sure the tempo is close to a match situation.
  • Demand calls.
