Rapid Shooting

.
 

Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers shot stopping ability. The goalkeeper is placed in the goal. A group of players are divided equally into two sets and positioned at two cones placed at the edge of the penalty area. Two servers, each side of the goal, serve the ball on the ground and in-between the two cones placed approximately 12 yards from the goal line. Each server alternates serving. 

Players shooting must receive a pass from the server diagonally opposite. The ball must be struck after it passes through the cones. Any ball struck before passing through the cones does not count. The group works as a team to see how many goals they can score in three minutes. After three minutes all goals are totaled.

The goalkeeper has to stop as many shots as he can in 3 minutes. The goalkeeper is awarded a goal for every successful save. Scores are compared against the attacking players. 

Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
