A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Score 4 consecutive goals using specific targets: far post and near post with both the left and right foot.
Setup
Place three cones 3 yards apart in a line at the top of the 18-yard box. Place a fourth cone 5 yards back to form a 'T' shape. Player A starts at the base; Player B starts at the middle top cone.
Drill Instructions
1. Player B scans over their shoulder toward the goal then opens up to one end of the T. 2. Player A passes to Player B. 3. Player B opens their hips, takes a directional first touch toward goal and finishes into the corner. 4. Reset and repeat, alternating sides to practice near and far post finishes with both feet.
Coach Tip
Check your shoulder before the ball arrives so you know exactly where the goal and the 'goalkeeper' are.
Avoid
Taking a 'dead' touch that stops the ball directly under your feet, making it hard to swing through the shot.
