Shooting Both Sides

.
 

Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers shot stopping ability. A goal is made using cones and is placed along the centerline of the penalty area. The goalkeeper is positioned in the center of the goal. A server is placed each side of the penalty area and facing the goal. The servers alternate delivering shots to the goalkeeper. The ball must travel between the cones and below head-height of the goalkeeper to count as a goal.   

The server on the opposite side must always be alert to strike the ball when it comes into his end from a shot. If the goalkeeper saves the shot, he turns around and rolls the ball out to the opposite server. Work for short, intense period and rotate the goalkeepers.

Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
