Long-Ball Finish — Control, Turn and Strike

Place servers 20–30m from goal and attackers in a central receiving area outside the box. The server plays a driven or lofted pass. The attacker controls, turns toward goal and finishes against a goalkeeper.

Track the flight of the ball early | Cushion the first touch into space | Turn toward goal with the next action in mind | Get the shot away before pressure arrives | Follow rebounds

• Add a recovering defender starting behind the attacker.

• Use driven ground passes before introducing aerial service.
