One Touch Finishing Drill – Left Foot / Right Foot
This One Touch Finishing Drill is fantastic for all players to learn.
This is a great Side Drill – one to pull a couple of players at at time, whilst your main drill continues.
A lot of quick movements, forward, backward, left and right required, as well as reactions and listening to the calls from the passer.
This will improve reactions and encourage players to communicate with each by way of passing instructions.
One Touch Finishing Drill – What you will need
You will need 3 Cones of different colours, here we use Red, Green & White
2 Mannequins – These aren’t essential, and you could always but defenders / coaches in there place.
An even number of balls – 10 if possible, 5 either side, but it doesn’t matter as long as the number is equal on both sides.
How it Works
The Shooter starts by standing right behind the Mannequin and the Red & Green cones.
When ready, the shout for the ball from one of the passers.
They then back-peddle to the white cone.
Once there they will receive the pass along with a shout of “Green” or “Red”
The player then has one touch to set up the shot to the side that was called. If its “Green” its control to the left followeed by a left footed shot, if “Red” then control to the right and a right foot shot.
Each player will have an even number of shots to each side.
Keep track of the scores so you can challenge the players to beat their tally next time around.
One Touch Finishing Drill – What to expect.
First time around, expect the scores to be low.
There will be a bit of confusion with the touches, either too hard, not hard enough or mis-control.
The Mannequins play a key part. If a touch is too shallow, it will only leave a part of the goal available making the keepers job a lot easier.
As they get the hang of it, the number of goals will increase sharply as will the type of goals they score.
