Here is a quick finishing exercise which is much more dynamic than the typical (and boring) stand in a line and wait for a shot drill which you see most coaches using to teach finishing.
Initial Set-Up
Set-up a goal – goalposts are preferable but you could use poles or tall cones – on one endline of an approximately 20m x 20m area.
Ideally you’ll set-up one area for every 3-4 players in your group, however the practice will work with anything up to 6 players per area.
Place poles 1m inside each post to create two narrow target zones for your players to aim at.
Inside your areas, mark out three small zones (the white markers in the diagram below). Place one facing the goal and put one either side of the goal close to the endline. Place a couple of balls in these two.

This dribbling game is a fun way to introduce your players to the importance of close ball control as well as running with the ball, changing direction and disguise.
Initial Set-Up
Set-up a 30m x 30m area and use tall cones to position a series of gates inside.
The Practice
Give your players a ball each and ask them to dribble through as many gates as possible. Award 1 point for every gate they pass through, but subtract 5 points if their ball goes outside of the area.
Set a short time-limit on each round to encourage players to move quickly.
