Turning & Finishing (Striker)


Diagram 1


turning and finishing 1a

Diagram 2


turning and finishing 1b

  A similar practice only this time the striker (S) has to turn quickly and attempt to score.

  In diagram (1), (B) serves to (S) who turns quickly and goes through the two cones which are no more than 2 metres apart in control of the ball, and then shoots at goal if (G) goalkeeper stays on his line.

  Should (G) come forward (as in diagram (2)) then (S) should try and dribble past him before slotting the ball into the goal.

  So in these practices (S), must get a good first touch good quick control and turn, and then assess his attempt to score on whether goalkeeper (G) advances or not.
