3 Part Finishing Drill – Shoot, 1-2, Lay out wide, Attack the Box
3 Part Finishing Drill – This drill is 3 explosive drills combined into one.
It requires quick thinking and concentration from the Blue Players in section 1, as they are the key to the whole drill and how the react in-between sections is what keeps the Drill moving.
3 Part Finishing Drill – Section 1
Blue Players is section 1 start with the ball and drill towards the cones, when they get there, they shift the ball to the right and shoot first time.
Ideally all of this should be 3 touches max.
It’s important the first part is done with pace.
3 Part Finishing Drill – Section 2
As soon as Blue Player has their shot, they check and turn to face the Yellow player in section 2.
The Yellow player passes the Blue player the ball and they return it first time.
Yellow Player then has a first time shot before the ball crosses the designated line ( in this example the edge of the area but it can be moved closer to goal )
3 Part Finishing Drill – Section 3
The Blue player now moves over into section 3 and receives another pass, this time from the Red player.
Blue Player plays another 1-2 and send Red player down the line.
Yellow player attacks the far post.
Blue player attacks the near post.
Red player tries to pick out either of them rather than just firing in a cross.
After the 3 parts are complete, each player moves onto the next section.

3 Part Finishing Drill – What to Expect
This is quite a complex drill and at first expect Blue player to get confused inbetween sections.
You may need to guide them through it and give them prompts, but when they all get it and it clicks this is a fantastic fast paced high intensity drill that the players will love.
Focus on the quality of the passes to start with, rather than the shots.
The passes are what keeps the whole drill moving.
