Two-action finishing drill combining a dead-ball strike with an immediate acceleration into a second finishing position.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Place a stationary ball outside the penalty area and a second server to one side. The attacker strikes the dead ball, then sprints into the box to meet a second pass or rebound for another finish.
Coaching Points
Set the standing foot correctly; strike through the ball; react immediately after the first shot; accelerate into the box; adjust body shape for the second finish.
Progressions
- Vary the second service or add a passive recovering defender.
Regressions
- Shorten the first strike distance and use a predictable second service.
