Crossing and Finishing: 30-Minute Routine
Crossing and finishing are vital for scoring opportunities. Start with 10 minutes of crossing practice: set up cones 10 meters apart near the sideline, dribble to each cone, and deliver crosses into the box. Aim for a specific target, such as a cone or small marker, for precision. Next, spend 10 minutes on finishing: position yourself 12-18 meters from goal and take first-time shots from incoming crosses or passes. Focus on hitting the corners of the net. End with 10 minutes of combination play, where a partner lays the ball off for you to strike. Track your success rate, aiming for at least 70% accuracy.
