Football: Finishing at the near post

Description

The coach or a feeder player stands on the touchline.

Players from the outside of the box take it in turns to run into the penalty area and run onto the pass at the near post - with the intention of slotting the ball past the keeper.

Coaching points

No point blank blasters - players must place their shots.

As they run in players should arch their runs.

Don't always shoot for the near post, try playing it across the keeper.

Rotate the feeding players regularly.
