This document provides coaching points and drills for a soccer practice focused on finishing. It begins with a warm up drill where pairs kick a ball back and forth to each other. It then describes two small sided games (3v3 and 4v4) to practice finishing in a match-like setting within confined areas of the field. Key coaching points are emphasized such as approach angle, plant foot, follow through. Progressions add points for goals using the non-dominant foot or one-touch shots. The session concludes with a full scrimmage (7v7) to observe finishing in a match setting with no restrictions on players.
