🔥 Finishing In and Around the Box | 33-P9

This dynamic finishing practice, set up in a full half-pitch, is designed to sharpen players' ability to score from a variety of scenarios. The session is divided into three phases, each building on the previous one to create realistic game-like situations. Players start by dribbling and shooting from distance, then quickly transition to reacting and finishing inside the box. The final phase involves a combination play leading to a cross, with multiple attackers converging to finish from close range. This drill emphasises quick reactions, varied finishing techniques, and coordinated team play, ensuring that players are well-prepared to capitalise on scoring opportunities during matches. 🙌

🔄 Wide Rotations & Crosses to Finish | 93-P7

This pattern of play practice is designed to enhance player rotations, combinations, and precise deliveries to finish, all within a full half-pitch setup. Starting with a midfielder initiating the play, players work together to create dynamic passing sequences, culminating in penetrating wide deliveries. The attackers rotate and make crossover runs into the box, aiming to finish with a decisive strike. Once players get comfortable with the pattern, we can introduce a new sequence that gets our midfielders into wide zones to deliver.

This dynamic practice is all about developing possession skills with a one and two-touch passing challenge. Set in a 5 v 5 format, the session starts with one team in possession, and the first pass kicks off the action. Players must follow a set sequence—alternating between one-touch and two-touch passes—keeping the ball moving quickly and accurately. If possession is lost or an error occurs, the opposing team takes over and must adhere to the same passing sequence. This drill sharpens quick decision-making, ball control, and teamwork under pressure.

Players work together in a fluid circuit that encourages quick passing, coordinated movement, and precision dribbling. The continuous flow of the drill ensures that players stay engaged, developing their ability to maintain possession and execute sharp, purposeful passes under pressure. Once players are comfortable in the sequence, we can introduce a mini goal to get players finishing! 🎉⚽️

🎉 Increase the Pressure Game | 92-P5

This practice develops possession skills through progressive overload scenarios. Starting with an 8 v 1 setup, the possession team must maintain control while the pressing team gradually increases their numbers, escalating the challenge from 8 v 1 up to 8 v 8. If the pressing team wins possession, they aim to combine and play out to a coach or teammate on the outside. After a set period, teams switch roles, ensuring both experience attacking and defending under pressure. This drill builds composure, quick decision-making, and teamwork. 🔥
