One Touch Control & Finish
The One touch Control & Finish skill is such a good tool for a player to have in his locker no matter the age.
Its relatively simple to teach and gives the player so much confidence on the pitch when they’ve mastered it.
For this Drill, both the Forward and the Goalkeeper start on the goal line.
Line the Cones, Flat Circles / Discs, as shown above.
On the whistle, both players run.
The Goalkeeper runs to the top of his cones, then back peddles into goal to get in position for the shot. This improves footwork and concentration.
The Forward runs to the end of his cones, where he receives a pass from the coach.
The player has one touch to move the ball round the corner and set up the shot.
If the touch is heavy, the keeper is to come out and narrow the angle or collect the ball before the striker can get there.
The kids will love this one, its fast paced, challenging and fun.
Everyone loves a One touch Control & Finish and they are no different, it will give them a really good buzz.
Depending on the age group, this will take them a few weeks to Master…. then you can Scale it up
Scale it up
One Touch Control & Finish v Retreating Keeper with Tracking Defender.
By adding a tracking defender into the mix, it massively increase the pressure on the forward making a good touch.
They need to be positioning the ball so their body is between the ball and on rushing defender so they can get a clean shot away.
This really increases the challenge and gives it a real match feel to it.
