Instructions/Setup:
This finishing drill focuses on developing the ability to finish from various angles around the penalty area. A center player is positioned at the top of the box and is surrounded by seven servers positioned at different angles. The servers pass the ball in from different directions, simulating varied game situations where an attacker might receive passes from different areas on the field. The center player must react quickly to each pass, maintaining focus and sharpness in their finishing.
As the coach calls out a number, the attacker must react to the pass and finish with a maximum of two touches. This encourages quick decision-making, touch control, and precise finishing under pressure. The exercise mimics real match scenarios where strikers must adjust to different types of service and take advantage of goal-scoring opportunities with minimal time to execute.
Coaching Notes:
• Quick Reactions: Encourage the attacker to focus on reacting quickly to the coach's call. Speed of movement and decision-making are key to ensuring they can complete the finish in just two touches.
• First Touch: The first touch should be under control and set up the attacker for a quick, accurate finish. The focus should be on soft touches that allow for a clean shot at goal.
• Finishing Accuracy: Remind the player to aim for specific areas of the goal. They should be encouraged to finish with precision rather than power, targeting corners or the space the goalkeeper has left open.
• Adaptability: The attacker should be adaptable, adjusting their body position based on the angle of the ball and their distance from goal, ensuring a variety of finishing techniques are used.
Progression 1: Increase Touch Limitation:
Reduce the number of touches allowed to one per pass. This forces quicker decisions and more clinical finishes in tight spaces.
Focus: Develops quicker reactions and sharper finishing techniques in high-pressure situations.
