CORNERS

BOTTOM CORNERS
Target the bottom corners of the goal.
Level up: Alternate corners with every shot.
WEAKER FOOT FINISHER
Use only your weaker foot. Choose any target area of the goal.

FIVE-ZONE SHOOTING
Hit a different zone with every shot. Example: Top left → Bottom right → Centre → Top right → Bottom left.
Level up: You cannot hit the same zone twice in a row.

- Standing foot beside the ball
- Toe pointing towards the target

PLACEMENT FINISHER
Placement over power — pass the ball into the corners. Accuracy > Power.
Level up: Shoot with your weaker foot.
FIRST-TIME FINISHER
Set the ball up and shoot without a controlling touch.
Level up: Alternate feet.
VOLLEY FINISHER
Throw or bounce the ball and score with a volley.
Level up: Hit a specific corner with every volley.
ANGLE FINISHER
Start from an angle, not straight in front. Open your body and choose the right finishing technique.

TWO-TOUCH FINISHER
Receive → Set → Shoot. Your first touch should move the ball into a good shooting position.
Level up: First touch must be with your weaker foot.
TURN & SHOOT
Start with your back to goal. Set the ball, turn with a controlled touch and finish.
Level up: Use a different turn every attempt.
TARGET SHOOTER
