Set Up:

The shooter (Player 1) has thirty seconds to finish as many balls as he can while rotating thru three stations:

Ball #1: Wall pass with Player 2 followed by a shot on goal (shown in Diagram 1).

Ball #2:  Run towards Player 3, receive a thru pass, shoot (shown in Diagram 2).

Ball #3:  Make a run to the other goal, finish a cross from Player 4 (shown in Diagram 2).

After the thirty second round of finishing, the players rotate clockwise to the next station, and the goalkeepers re-load the balls.

Coaching Points:

1.  First Touch – Prepare the ball to shoot by touching it off at a 45 degree angle.

2.  Finishing – Use head fakes and ball fakes to get the goalkeeper moving from side to side.

3.  Heading – Delay your run to goal and time the cross so that you can sprint to the ball.

4.  Ball Striking – The position of the plant foot determines where the ball goes when you hit it.

Progressions:

1.  Add defenders in front of goal to pressure the shooter.
