Timing the Finish
Timing the Finish
Set Up:
The Feeder begins the drill with a pass out from the end line to Player 1. Player 1 opens up with his first touch and passes square to Player 2. Player 2 passes across to Player 3, who sets the ball back for Player 1 to finish. After the shot, Player 1 goes to Player 2’s line and Player 3 goes to Player 4’s line. The drill then re-starts from the other side, with the other Feeder passing to Player 2.
Coaching Points:
1 First Touch – Open your hips up as you receive and direct your first touch at the target.
2 Shooting Angle – Curve your run to the ball so that you can approach at a 45-degree angle.
3 Speed of Approach – Take small steps to the ball so that you can adjust to the back pass.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Player 2 follows his pass in, giving Player 3 two shooters to pass to.
