For this week, here’s a drill focused on finishing and shooting on goal.
Equipment required: cones, slalom poles, footballs.
Number of players: 6–9 players + 1 goalkeeper.
Drill description:
Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram. Each player starts with a ball.
-
Player A drives the ball forward a few meters, performs a dribble past the slalom poles, and finishes the action with a shot on goal (1,2,3).
-
Player B performs the same sequence: drives the ball forward, executes a dribbling action before the slalom poles, and finishes with a shot on goal (4,5,6).
-
Player C drives the ball toward the end line, then delivers a cross for players A and B (7,8).
The two attacking players make runs toward the near and far post (I, II) and finish the action with a shot on goal (9).
Players rotate positions periodically to experience each role within the exercise.
