Y-shaped passing sequence: support, lay-off to the third man and a pass into space to finish against the keeper. A pre-season classic for passing, movement and timing.
Progressive 12-minute routine in goalkeeper pairs: hand passes, mid-height catches on the move, lateral footwork between cones and gentle volleys. Prepares hands, shoulders and legs before the specific work.
Wave finishing drill: the attacker plays a wall pass with a target player at the edge of the box and finishes first time past the goalkeeper. Accuracy, timing and finishing.

Crosses from both wings with two attackers hitting the near and far posts and one defender trying to clear. Works the timing of runs into the box, the jump and the direction of the header.

3v2 counter-attack on a half pitch with a defender recovering from behind. The attackers must finish quickly before the recovering defender evens up the duel.

Three attackers with a ball in different positions: the goalkeeper adjusts to the bisecting line and narrows the angle before each shot on the coach's call.
Crosses from the byline at different heights and distances with live attackers; on every ball the keeper decides whether to come and claim or stay on the line to face the finish.
Aerial balls served by the coach into the six-yard box with two attackers occupying the space passively; the keeper comes out, jumps and catches at the highest point.
Extension dives to mid-height and high balls away from the body, with a power step and safe landing technique, alternating both sides.
