Introduction

Scoring goals is the ultimate aim of football. To score goals in a real match, players have to

show a number of qualities including skill, imagination, creativity, awareness etc. Therefore

training practices must develop these skills

The following finishing practices were created with the goal to inspire players whilst giving

them different problems to solve. The players have to play under pressure, they have to react

to different types of service and have choices to make on different techniques to use andwhether to shoot early or combine with a team-mate.

All the practices run quickly with sharp movements, there are no long queues waiting to

shoot, and every player has a role and function to complete in order for the practices to run

smoothly
