1v1 Finishing Drill | Multi-Angle Shooting Against Mannequins

1v1 Finishing Drill | Multi-Angle Shooting Against Mannequins

Overview

  • A solo technical session players can run on their own
  • Uses mannequins or cones to sharpen shooting accuracy from different angles
  • Builds the foundation for those split-second decisions players face in a game
  • Especially good for helping your finishers put the ball in the net

Objectives

  • Dial in shooting timing
  • Learn to strike the ball accurately from a range of angles and distances
  • Speed up decision-making and execution in tight space
  • Develop players who always have a nose for goal

Setup

Players work in a third of the field, dribbling through a gap between two mannequins and finishing.

1)Set up two mannequins or cones in a third of the field (about 1m to 1.5m apart)

2)The player starts on the ball, runs through the gap between the mannequins, and takes a shot

3)Start with a straight run, then add a run behind the mannequin, then a shot from an angle over the shoulder — keep building in variations

4)Run each pattern around 5 times
