Striker / Forward
3 drills designed specifically for this position
Finishing Circuit
Receive the ball from various angles and positions around the box, take one touch to control, and shoot. Alternate between left foot, right foot, and headers.
Movement & Runs
Practice runs behind the defensive line — diagonal runs, checking to feet, and spinning off the shoulder of the last defender. Focus on timing your run with the passer.
First Touch Under Pressure
A server plays firm passes to you while a defender applies passive pressure from behind. Control the ball with your first touch and turn to shoot within 2 seconds.
Training Tips for Striker / Forwards
Positioning
Always be aware of the offside line. Make diagonal runs to stay onside while creating space.
Composure
When through on goal, stay calm. Pick your spot and place the ball rather than blasting it.
Hold-Up Play
Use your body to shield the ball from defenders. Bring teammates into play with layoffs.
