Attacking

This session is aimed at giving attacking players plenty of opportunities to make front post and back post runs and finish with a side-footed shot from the edge of the six-yard box. It gives attackers the chance to work in pairs and rehearse their movement to receive the ball, and it also helps them perfect the art of making an angle when they approach the ball and finish with the inside of the foot.
