Finishing Behind the Back Line | Timing Meets Cool Finishing

Overview

• Receiving in behind the defensive line and burying the finish
• A drill that sharpens run timing and shooting accuracy at the same time
• Works with 5 or more (4 field players + a coach, or just 1 server)

Objectives

• Sharpen your players’ eye for the space in behind the back line
• Read the exact moment to time the run onto the pass
• Open up a clean shooting angle and finish with accuracy
• Make smart decisions to stay onside while attacking

Setup

Players start from outside the box, time their run in behind, and finish. Here’s how it runs:

１）A coach (or player) starts from the edge of the box

２）Play the pass the moment the runner breaks in behind

３）The runner takes the ball and finishes one-on-one with the keeper

４）Run about 10 reps and count the goals
