Screened Low Finish — Use Teammate's Run to Hide the Strike
A finishing exercise where one attacker crosses the shooting lane without touching the ball, creating a brief visual screen before a second attacker strikes low from the edge of the box.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a full-size goal with goalkeeper. The shooter receives centrally 16–20m from goal. A teammate makes a diagonal run across the goalkeeper's visual line but stays clear of the ball. The shooter times a low finish immediately after the runner crosses.
Coaching Points
Runner must not block or foul the goalkeeper | Shooter waits for the visual window | Keep the strike low and early | Do not hit the moving teammate | Follow the shot for rebounds
Progressions
- Add a defender closing the shooter from one side and allow the goalkeeper to communicate around the screen.
Regressions
- Use a fixed crossing run and stationary service.
