Obj: The far-post finishing rule installed — across the keeper, always arriving: the club's highest-percentage finishing religion. Field: 30×20yd with wide service angles, goal + GK. Equip: Goal, balls, cones. Org: Finishing from wide-ish serves where the geometry preaches: near-post shots are saved by position, far-post strokes are saved by miracles. Rounds: (1) far-post placement from central dribbles; (2) far-post from angled runs (the across-goal stroke); (3) the FAITH round — far-post finishes that miss wide still score half a point IF struck across (rewarding the right idea while the accuracy catches up — belief before precision, deliberately). Far-post arrivals coached simultaneously: the weak-side player attacking the back stick on every wide strike (G-09's fourth spot pre-taught). CP: (1) Across the GK, low, inside the far post — the stroke, not the blast; (2) open the hips through contact (the body points where the ball goes); (3) far-post MISSES become far-post ARRIVALS for teammates — which is why the faith round pays half (the miss across goal is a pass in disguise). Prog: GK cheats far (now near is right — reads over rules, the graduation); first-time far-post strokes. Reg: Empty goal with far-half targets; closer angles. Mist: P: blasting near out of habit; C: teaching the rule without its exception round (rules that never bend become blindness). Time: 14 min. Out: Far-post default with read-based exceptions; back-stick arrivals appearing unprompted. Var: Two-player version (striker + far-post arrival scored as a pair). Diag: Goal with across-goal stroke arrow to the far corner, GK's covered near side shaded, weak-side arrival ghosting to the back stick.
