In this session we focus on one of the most underrated — and most deadly — finishing skills: putting the ball away with limited touches off a bounce with your back to goal. Not every cross lands clean at your feet. Sometimes it drops behind you, skips off the turf, or forces you to improvise with almost no time or space.

This drill challenges players to turn on the half-bounce, stay composed, and bury the chance in the bottom cornersusing no more than two touches. It builds muscle memory, sharper instincts, and the confidence to finish in chaotic moments inside the box. The more you rep this, the more natural that quick turn-and-fire becomes — and the more dangerous you are in front of goal.

Master this, and you stop waiting for perfect service. You start creating your own goals.

Drill Set Up:

• Begin on the PK spot

• Take 3 steps directly back and set down the 1st cone

• Set down 2 additional cones, 1 on each side with some space in between them.

• Step to your weak sided cone and take 2 steps at a 45 degree angle.

• Set down the last cone.

Drill Directions:

• Juggle the ball into your hands and toss it directly into the air.

• As the ball bounces - touch and turn with the ball using the inside of your foot.

• Aim to finish near post.

• After 15 reps - Challenge yourself to not use your hands and kick the ball directly into the air.

• Repeat 15 times.

• After completion, repeat the same steps as above but finish across the goal.
