Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Use a penalty area with a full size goal.
• 1 feeder required and a player to finish. With additional players simply add lines to both the feeder and finisher stations.
• Have a good supply of balls at hand.
• This drill is usually done without a GK to start.
• Instead the players shoot towards a 2.5yrd target area at both the left and right posts of the goal.

Instructions

• The feeder (A1) passes the ball into the finisher (A2) who alternatively receives the ball on their left foot and then right foot. After a period balls can be played randomly to either side to develop shooting reactions:
• A1 plays a weighted pass to zone 2.
• A2 moves to join the rolling pass.
• A2 strikes on goal after a touch, or first time depending on the difficulty level desired.
• A2 then recovers to the centre area (starting point) and awaits the next ball.
• A2 moves for the second ball in the opposite zone.
• A1 players another weighted pass into Zone 1 this time.
• A2 shoots on goal again at the target areas or to beat the GK.
• A2 recovers for another shot.
• This can also be played with a group of players in which the feeder constantly rotates with the finisher.
• After a period balls can be played randomly to either side to develop shooting reactions.

Scoring

• Scoring competition can be set at the coach’s discretion.
