Overview

• Players from middle-school age up who want to level up their individual finishing
• Players who need to finish accurately even when they’re gassed late in a game
• Coaching setups that want to build shooting accuracy and fitness at the same time

Objectives

• Keep your finishing sharp even when players are tired
• Build quick recovery and fast switching between actions
• Sharpen finishing under match-like workload
• Give players a drill they can keep running on their own

Setup

This is a 1v1 drill on a third of the field where players fire off shot after shot from different spots. You’re building fitness and technique together.

１）Set up goals (or markers) at both ends of the third

２）Player and coach (or keeper) start on the start line

３）On the whistle, the player runs toward the goal on one side

４）Receive the ball and take it from first touch through to the shot in one flowing action

５）The moment the shot’s away, sprint to the goal on the other side

６）Receive again and finish the same way

７）Keep this going for a set time (3–5 minutes)

８）Take a short breather, then run the set again
