Set and Finish, Part 1

Set Up:

Player 1 begins the sequence with a pass up to Player 2 in the center of the drill. Player 2 turns towards goal and combines with Player 3 for a finish. Upon completion, the players rotate clockwise. When Player 1 reaches the center spot, he receives the first pass from Player 4 and runs the same sequence in the opposite direction. Player 5 then combines with Player 1 for the shot on goal. Upon completion, the players rotate clockwise as the drill continues with Player 4 making the next run into the center. 

Coaching Points:

1.  Speed of Play – Extra touches will slow down the sequence and throw the timing off.

2.  The Finishing Run – Hold your run at first so that you can adjust to the pass.

3   Finishing Angles – The angle of your finishing run should allow you to shoot at all four corners.

Progression:

1.  Add a passing combination between Players 1 and 2 (see Part Two of the drill)
