Final shooting session for May - here we are looking to work on first time shots in a SSG setting with lots of options to increase the level of challenge
Finishing bingo brings a need to experiment, or simply adding a GK to increase the pressure
Two questions shaped my coaching this season…
How do I build more tactical autonomy?
How do I prepare players for the emotional demands of competition?
This session explored both — giving tactical leaders ownership and players responsibility to solve problems themselves.
3v3 | 4v3 | Multi Ball Finishing
⚽️ Created On: @SSPlanner
📌 Finishing attacks in the final third
🧩 Set-Up:
✔️Half Pitch set up with funnelled lines. A large goal at each end of the pitch is guarded by a goalkeeper 🟢 (1&2)
👕Teams: ⚫️s attacking team and 🔴s defending team. 🔵’s are support players for whichever team attacks.
How to Play:
✔️ Stagger the players across the halfway line so that on one side of the pitch there is an overload for the attackers, and on the other side of the pitch there is an overload for the defenders.
✔️ This is a three-ball game:
⚽️ Ball 1 is served in by the coach to the ⚫️s into their overload. So 3 x ⚫️s enter the pitch defended by 3 x 🔴s. The ⚫️s try to score in the large goal past 🟢 GK (2). As soon as the game ends, ball 2 begins.
⚽️ Ball 2 is from a wide area where 🔵 support player 2 enters the pitch to create a 4v3 overload in favour of the ⚫️s. They try to score in the large goal past 🟢 GK (2).
✔️ If the 🔴s win the ball, they attack the opposite goal, and 🔵 support player 2 can help. After the ball goes dead, 🔵 Support player 2 leaves the pitch.
⚽️ Ball 3 is for the 🔴s to attack the large goal via a cross from 🔵 support player 1 towards the goal guarded by 🟢GK (1). The game is played to a finish, with the ⚫️s attacking in the other direction if they win the ball.
🚧 Constraints:
🏆Reward: A bonus ball served in by the coach (C) if the blacks score 2 goals in a row.
👨🏫 Review: The speed of the attacks and the off-ball movements to create scoring chances.
🚫 Restriction: A time limit to score or possession flips to the defending team.

Looking at creating more opportunities for players to practice their finishing - here is a nice Technical 3 Station Shooting exercise.
Lots of reps!!
- Remember -ABCs!!
Looking at creating more opportunities for players to practice their finishing - here is a nice and easy game to do just that. Lots of short games keep it fresh and challenging with plenty of reps
Remember - language matters, it's not "shooting", it's "finishing" and "scoring"
“My job when I compete is to execute in my High Performance Mindset (HPM). Every action, every second in HPM…
…nothing and no one takes me away from my HPM. I stay in control and in charge no matter who I play, where I play, when I play…and how I play…
High Attention
Optimal Intensity
High Intent
I dominate and own my mindset…”

Further from the game or closer to the game?

New Month and we are moving on to the most fun part of the game - putting the ball into the net!
Young players especially find the idea of using both feet difficult, so try to consider that when working on something fun like shooting to breakdown their self imposed barriers!
