Actively offering and finishing on goal

Objective
  • The objective of this training is to actively offer yourself between the ball and the defender, making yourself available for a pass.
Setup
  • The player at point B starts running and moves in an arc past the orange cones to make themselves available.
  • The player at point A passes to the incoming player and runs around the designated cones towards point B.
  • The player at point C runs in an arc around the orange cones, paying attention to the position of the player at point B.
  • The player at point B passes the ball to the player who started from point C.
  • The player from point C receives the ball before the orange cones, dribbles into the circle, and finishes on goal.
  • The player who has finished runs around the cones back to point A.
Variations
  • Reduce the training area by removing one station, requiring fewer players.
  • Change the starting position to adjust the direction of availability.
  • Add an extra station at the goal for a tip-in, noting that more players will be needed.
Key Points
  • Keep the ball close to the stick while dribbling to prevent losing the ball.
  • Make yourself wide when offering to effectively position yourself between the ball and the defender.
  • Pay attention to timing when starting to run.
  • Make passes before the orange cones to ensure clear running in front of the player.
