Attack the Channel Finishing Drill

Score 8 out of 10 attempts using both the left and right foot.

Place two cones at the top of the box to represent defenders. Position a playmaker 25 yards out and a line of strikers 30 yards out.

1) The playmaker takes a prep touch while the striker begins a lateral run to stay onside. 2) As the playmaker looks up, the striker sprints through the gap between the cones. 3) The striker receives the weighted pass into space and hits a first-time shot into the bottom corner.

Remind players to watch the playmaker's foot; when the leg goes back to strike the pass, that is the trigger to explode into the channel.
