Friday Night Finishing
Friday Night Finishing Program (Ages 9–14) Competitive and Rec
Our Friday Night Finishing Program is designed for players aged 9–14 who want to improve their ability to score goals and become more confident in front of goal.
Each session provides players with lots of repetitions, game-like scenarios, and opportunities to score, helping them develop a wide range of finishing techniques in a fun and positive learning environment.
Players will practice techniques such as:
- First-time finishing
- Finishing from different angles
- 1v1s with the goalkeeper
- Volleys and half-volleys
- Composed finishing under pressure
Sessions are built around small-sided games and realistic match situations, ensuring players learn how to finish in the same types of situations they face in real matches. This approach supports players in developing decision-making, creativity, and confidence when attacking the goal.
Our focus is to create a safe, enjoyable, and supportive environment where players are encouraged to try new skills, express themselves, and celebrate goals with their teammates. Soccer is not only about technique; it also helps young players build confidence, teamwork, and emotional development through the game.
Players will leave each session with:
