- Finishing & Scoring
A finishing drill that trains shooting technique and simple combination play in front of the box. Players work in threes. Place five mannequins or poles in front of the penalty box and mark starting positions with cones. Adapt the distances to the age. Player A dribbles towards the mannequin, performs a quick feint and shoots. After A's shot, B dribbles, plays a quick one-two with A and shoots. Then C passes to A, who dribbles to open a passing lane and plays a penetrating pass into C's path. C curls the ball back into the box and A and B try to score directly from it. Rotate positions after each round. Source: Pro-soccerdrills.com (YouTube).
