Practice Breakdown: 

Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 20x20

  • This technical dribbling and finishing practice is designed to develop ball control, dribbling under pressure, finishing accuracy, and transition into 1v1 attacking situations. Two players start each with a ball at opposite ends of a grid. Each player dribbles into the grid, navigating around a designated pole, before shooting at a mini goal—one on the left side and one on the right.

    The player whose ball hits the net first immediately receives a second ball from the coach. Both players then engage in a 1v1, attempting to score against their respective goalkeepers. The drill continues with rotations, allowing all players to practice dribbling, finishing, and 1v1 attacking and defending.

  • • Dribbling Technique: Emphasise close control, quick changes of direction, and body positioning when navigating around the pole.

    • Finishing: Encourage composure, accurate placement, and varied shooting techniques to challenge the goalkeeper.

    • Reaction and Decision-Making: Coach players to react quickly after the first shot, transitioning immediately into the 1v1 scenario.

    • 1v1 Awareness: Emphasise timing of runs, feints, and changes of pace to create space against the opponent.

    • Goalkeeper Involvement: Reinforce positioning, shot-stopping, and anticipation during both the initial shot and subsequent 1v1.

  • Weaker Foot Dribble and Finish: Require players to dribble and shoot using their weaker foot.

    Focus: Develops ambidexterity, technical confidence, and balance under pressure.
