🔧 Set-up: Area: 25x15 meters with a goal at one end Players: 1 goalkeeper, 3–4 strikers rotating Equipment: Several footballs, cones to mark passing angles ⚽ Activity: The striker begins centrally, just outside the penalty box A coach or teammate plays a through ball toward the striker from the cones The striker advances toward goal and must quickly assess the goalkeeper’s positioning The striker aims to finish into one of the bottom corners, using precise placement rather than power Players can alternate between aiming for the near and far post depending on the goalkeeper's movement Rotate players to ensure multiple finishing attempts under different conditions ✅ Coaching Points: Focus on the timing of the run to meet the through ball at pace Emphasise the importance of scanning the goalkeeper’s position early Encourage precision over power—pick out the bottom corners Reinforce confidence in both near- and far-post finishes Rotate quickly to simulate game-like repetition and decision-making under pressure
