Coaching Pointers:
A small group of players are placed at the side of each goal. Players have a ball each. First player in each group dribbles the ball towards the cone. At the cone the player performs a dribbling move (using the pole as an imaginary defender. The player then quickly attacks the penalty area and finishes with a shot on goal.
After the attack is finished, players jog behind the goal and join the group at the opposite side.
Coach should keep track of goals scored and make a competition amongst the players.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
The emphasis should be placed on "accuracy" and not power. Shoot for the back post, rather than near
post.
-
Use a variety of moves such as the scissors, step over, head fakes, dipping the shoulder etc.
-
Players should demonstrate a noticeable change of pace after performing a dribbling move.
-
Anticipate rebounds off the goalkeeper.
-
Remember to keep the head steady and eyes fixed firmly on the ball.
Encourage players to use a variety of shooting techniques such as the low driven shot, the chip shot, the lofted
shot and bent shot etc. |
