Receiving wide to finish

Description

In this session we are focusing on movement from the wide positions to receive and finish. The drill is focused around working with full backs and wingers primarily. The drill begins with the player dribbling to the pole/cone ahead of them. As they approach the pole, the coach then moves to receive the ball. The coach will either play the ball in behind the defence (mannequin), or play in between the two cones for the player to touch the ball forward and then finish. The player should aim to finish across the goal or look to catch the goalkeeper out at the near post. The drill can be completed on both the left and right channels. Each set should consist of 4 - 8 reps and should be completed at least three times.
