Finishing Training: Triple Finish

Pitch: Three dummies or poles represent the opponents; there is a goal at one end.

Equipment: 3 dummies or poles, 1 goal and several balls.

Players: Three groups — central, right and left; plus one goalkeeper.

• The action starts centrally: the player dribbles towards the dummy, goes past it with a feint and finishes at goal.
• Immediately afterwards this player plays a one-two with the right-hand player.
• The right-hand player lays the ball off square to the left-hand player, who finishes first time at goal.
• The central player makes an overlapping run around the right-hand dummy and receives a ball played into the space by the coach.
• This player crosses to the players making crossing runs in the middle, who finish first time if possible.
• Afterwards the players collect the balls and join one of the three groups on their own.
