4V4 With 5 Goals Inside The 18
This is one of my favorite soccer finishing drills as it works on every aspect of finishing inside the 18 yard box. Important soccer finishing skills such as chipping, crossing, heading, finishing and composure in the 18.

Setup
This is a 4 v 4 game inside the 18 yard box with a keeper in the big goal and 4 small goals (or Pugg Goals) set up on the sides of the 18 (each corner).
Instructions
The X''s are trying to score in goal 1 or goal 3 and the O''s are trying to score in goal 2 or goal 4. A goal scored in the small goals counts as 1 point. Both the X''s and the O''s can score in the big goal (protected by the keeper) with a header or volley. Scoring in that goal counts as 2 points. This game does an excellent job or working on spacing and runs (an X might start by goal 3, draw a defender to her and then make a far post run to receive a cross from a teammate by goal 1) as well as finishing, communication and vision. When the keeper makes a save she plays the ball toward the top of the 18 in the middle to create a 50/50 ball.
Variations
- You can limit their touches to 1 or 2 touch.
- You may add perimeter players at the top of the box to keep the pace of the game up.
- Have perimeter players serve first time for an opportunity on the big goal.
Coaching Points
- Creating finishing opportunities
- Switching the point of attack
- Vision of surrounding players (both offensively and defensively)
