Finishing Race | Fast, Sharp Finishing on the Move

Overview

• Built for players ages 10 and up
• Great for teams that want to sharpen their shooting and decision-making around goal
• Use it when you want players to finish plays quickly and with real pace

Objectives

• Get players comfortable linking a quick pass into a shot
• Have them read the play and execute again and again in tight windows
• Sharpen their finishing while a defender bears down on them
• Build the mindset of getting a step ahead of their marker to score

Setup

Split into two teams and race to see who can pass and finish faster.

1）Set a goal on each side of the field, with two teams (5–6 players each) facing off across from one another

2）The team on the ball plays a pass and finishes the move at full pace

3）The receiving player shakes off the defender’s pressure, takes a clean first touch, and drives it into a shot

4）If the defender wins the ball before the shot goes off, switch attack and defense right away

5）Push them to finish the play quickly
