Fast Finishing

Set Up

Set up 2 cones along the edge of the penalty area, 1 at the edge of the D and the other 15 yards away. Place an additional cone 5 yards off the penalty area, in line with the other edge of the D. Players are in groups of 3, 1 group with a ball each, 1 without. Groups start at the cones as shown in the animation.

The first player with the ball dribbles across the penalty area. They stop the ball in front of the player without the ball. They continue onto the next cone before joining the back of the finishing line.

The player with the ball steps forward, takes a touch towards the goal and then tries to score past the GK. After shooting, they get the ball and join the back of the opposite line. Continue.
