Every player and coach enjoys soccer coaching sessions that develop shooting and finishing skills. Soccer coaching should provide training sessions to improve shooting from distance, turning to shoot, quick feet and finishing, dribbling to finish, first time shots and crossing and finishing games. Soccer is a game where goals are of paramount importance and every soccer coaching session should contain some element of training drills to improve this most important skill.

Soccer coaching sessions dedicated to improving shooting and finishing should also include soccer coaching drills that focus on providing opportunities for the players to develop and improve the key techniques required for shooting. Before a coach works on improving the players’ techniques, the soccer coaching session should ensure that the player has a positive attitude towards shooting and finishing. Once this has been established, then the soccer coaching progression should look to develop the players’ technical skills, which could well include unopposed soccer coaching drills, progressing into opposed and realistic shooting sessions.

It is important that any soccer coaching plan develops the soccer coaching session to include a series of progressive training drills which allows the player to gain confidence and belief and ensures the players have lots of opportunities to practice lots of different types of shots within the soccer coaching session.

In real match situations, there will be defensive opposition players who will attempt to stop shooting opportunities. Therefore, all soccer coaching sessions should include realistic game like situations, where attacking players are encouraged to make decisions, not only on the techniques required for shooting and finishing, but also decisions based upon the position of their team mates, defenders and the goalkeeper.

Soccer coaching factors for shooting and finishing:

• Promote a positive attitude to shooting and finishing 
• Observe goalkeepers position
• Select and use the correct technique for the shot or finish
• Where possible - select accuracy over power – hit the target
• React to deflections or rebounds
• Progress to include opposition defenders – match like scenarios
