Lesson 16:
Finishing From a Cross on the Ground
view description
- Objective
  
  To be able to strike a moving ball using the inside of the foot and keep the strike low and into the goal.
  
  Coaching Points
  
  Approach at an angle between where ball is coming from and the goal. With the non-kicking foot pointed at the goal, strike the ball with the foot nearest the ball while leaning forward. Use the inside of the foot in a sweeping motion for accuracy.
  
  Problems to Watch Out For
  
  Delivery from the cross will be too slow or too quick to allow for good striking practice. Players will not attack the cross at game speed.
  
  Why This Works
  
  Strikes are taken at game speed from crosses coming from either side of the field.
  
  F = Feeder
  
  S = Striker
