1
Objective: For the centre forward to set good position and take shot when fronted by centreback. Passers practicing service to centre forward.
Description: 1st Drill: Start with one or two deep wings with several balls each and centre forward in middle of the goal. 1. Centre forward works position face-to-face with centre back, away from the goal, creating space in front of the goal. 2. Centre forward turns, spins and seals position with defender on his back and facing the goal or passing defender 3. Pass comes in on the water and centre forward moves in to shoot. The centre forward should work on having good balance and legs under him for the shot. Spider can be used here. Also centre forward can work on the timing of the pass to receive it dry having initiated the move towards the goal. The timing of the spin is crucial. The drill can be done initially unopposed, then the centre back added to put the centre forward under pressure, but allow the shot. |

Description: 2nd drill: As previous drill, but introduce a third passer at 3 position.
Passers pass to eachother for 5-10", while the CF works position to create open water in front of goal. CB starts by fronting then tries hard to oppose the centre forward. This can be progressed to practice releasing at 1 or 5 position. Based on Nick Hume CF Drills |
