Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Finishing Pre-Game Warm up Exercises

1v1 Finishing Progression (10 mins)

1v1 Finishing Progression

1. A (Defender) passes to B (Attacker) on the cone in front of them and then chases to prevent goal scoring opportuntiy. Attacker needs to take positive touch towards goal to take a shot. If Defender wins it they can dribble through two red cones close to half line for 1 point.

Rotation: A > B > C > A

2. A (Attacker now) passes to B (Defender now) and gets it right back. B works on how proper body angle to defend and A works on going 1v1 with speed and aggression to get a shot off. If Defender wins it they can dribble through two red cones close to half line for 1 point.

Rotation: A > B > C > A

Set-up: These two activities are to be done in succession. First do activity 1 on both sides then after 5-7 minutes do activity 2 on both sides.

Coaching Points: Good invididual attacking and defending skills
