Crossing and Finishing

Deliver quality crosses from the byline and time runs into the box: near post, penalty spot, and far post arriving as the ball does.

Setup & instructions

Mark a 48x40m area with a full-size goal and keeper. A midfielder starts each wave with a one-two through the playmaker, then releases a winger into the wide channel between the cones. The winger attacks the byline and delivers: whipped to the near post, or cut back to the edge of the six-yard box when defenders drop. Runners attack near post, penalty spot, and far post. The keeper restarts each wave with a roll-out. Alternate flanks every delivery.

Setup time: 5 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Winger's final touch sets the cross: out of your feet, never under them
  • Pick your delivery: whip it between the keeper and the dropping defenders, or cut it back when the byline is reached
  • Time the runs: near post attacks the front, the spot arrives as the ball comes in, never before
  • Attack the ball with conviction: head through it, or finish first time
  • After the finish, react to the keeper's distribution immediately

Common mistakes

  • Runners arriving before the ball and killing the momentum of the attack
  • Crossing behind the runners instead of between keeper and defence
  • The winger checking inside instead of attacking the byline

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add a second defender to mark the penalty-spot runner
  • Limit the winger to two touches after receiving
  • Crosses must be first-time from a moving ball

Regressions

  • Remove the defender for unopposed pattern work
  • Let the winger cross from a stationary ball
  • Serve the cross by hand to groove the headers
