    Kevin Jordan
    This document provides instructions for a soccer drill to practice crossing and finishing. The drill divides the field into central and wide zones with players positioned in each zone. Players in the wide zones cross the ball into the central zones for teammates to finish. The drill helps wide players practice accurate crossing and strikers timing their runs to finish. Coaches should ensure players stay in their zones and crosses/shots are on target.
