First Touch/Taking the Ball in Stride + Shot at Goal

Setup

Pitch: One goal; two cones level with the goal area, two at the penalty area and two five metres behind it.

Equipment: 1 goal, 6 cones and several balls.

Players: Two groups with a ball at the goal area, two players without a ball at the rear cone. A goalkeeper goes in the goal.

From the goal line a player plays a firm ground pass out to the last line of cones behind the penalty area.
The player positioned there takes a good first touch into space, so that the finish on goal can be taken with the second touch.
The finish is taken behind or on the edge of the penalty area.
After the shot at goal the player joins the group at the goal area, and the passer takes up the position at the penalty area.
Play always alternates between the two sides.

The first touch, taking the ball in stride and the shot at goal should form one flowing movement.
Run the drill as a finishing competition with points and swap sides halfway through, so that the finishes are taken with both the strong and the weak foot.
