Crossing and Finishing for Wingers and Strikers

Crossing and finishing drills are vital for creating and converting goal-scoring opportunities. Set up two cones 30 meters apart to mark crossing zones and a target area with six cones inside the penalty box. Wingers practice delivering crosses from both sides of the pitch, aiming for specific target zones. Strikers must time their runs to meet the cross and finish with one touch. Perform 15-20 repetitions for each winger-striker pair. Track accuracy by counting successful crosses (those landing in the target area) and finished goals. Over 4 weeks, aim to improve your success rate by 15-20%.
