Finishing Duel

Pitch: Cones mark five shooting positions, of which positions 1 and 5 lie at a slightly tighter angle; plus four poles and two goals.

Equipment: 2 goals, 4 poles, cones and several balls.

Players: Two teams with at least ten outfield players; plus two goalkeepers.

• Two teams take turns competing against each other in finishing.
• The player dribbles around the cone at position 1 and gets a shot in on goal as quickly as possible.
• Only once a player from a team has scored from position 1 may all players of that team shoot from position 2; and so on.
• The aim is to be the first team to have scored from all of the given positions.
• To train the other foot as well, the side is changed accordingly when setting off.

Variations:

• Increase the number of positions.
• Both teams start at the same time; the next player may only set off dribbling once the player in front has finished. This increases the dribbling speed considerably.
