Striker Pin & Spin — Hold Centre-Back, Set or Turn
A back-to-goal attacking practice where the striker receives under contact and reads the defender before deciding to hold and set, roll the defender, or spin into the channel. The focus is on using body position to create the next attacking action.

Organization
Use a 22x18m channel with a server, striker, supporting midfielder and active defender. The server plays into the striker, the midfielder supports underneath, and the striker chooses to set or turn based on the defender's position. Finish through a target gate or into a mini-goal after the decision.
Coaching Points
Make contact and feel the defender before the ball arrives | Receive with a strong base and protect the ball side | Set with one or two touches when the defender is tight | Spin quickly if the defender over-commits | Support player arrives underneath at a useful angle
Progressions
- Add a recovering second defender after the striker's first action.
Regressions
- Begin with a passive defender and pre-call set or turn.
