Crossing and finishing drills are essential for players in attacking positions. Set up cones or targets in the penalty area to simulate teammates or goal zones. Practice crossing from the wings, focusing on precision and timing. Use both feet to develop versatility in crossing the ball.
For finishing, focus on timing your runs into the box and connecting cleanly with the ball using different techniques, such as volleys, headers, or side-foot finishes. Incorporate situational drills where a coach or teammate plays the ball to you, forcing you to adapt to different crossing angles and defensive pressure.
Muscles Targeted: Quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, glutes, and core.
