Soccer coaching session to improve players' decision making skills
This session "ABC finishing" is a great way to get your players to exploit the 2-2-2 formation. You can recreate situations in which balls are fed to your attackers like they would be in a match situation.
How to set it up
You need to set up a 40 yards by 30 yards playing area and use three cones, three outfield players a goal and goalkeeper.
How to play it
- Player 1 dribbles and shoots at goal.
- Player 1 now turns and makes a choice of which player to combine with. The player chosen passes to player 1 then runs inside to receive a return pass and passes out to the opposite wide player.
- Player 1 and his chosen team mate now run into the penalty box and attempt to score from the wide player's cross.
