Coaching Pointers:
A small group of players are placed at the side of each goal. Two target players are positioned in the middle of the area.
The first player in line passes the ball to the target player for a return pass. The target player returns the pass "one touch" for the shooter to hit first time. Immediately after shooting the ball the shooter must look to follow through for any rebounds from the goalkeeper. The shooter then joins the group at the opposite side and joins the end of the line.
Coach should keep track of goals scored and make a competition amongst the shooters.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
 The emphasis should be placed on "accuracy" and not power.
-
Change pace after receiving the return pass from the target player.
-
Players should time their runs so that they do not have to break stride when striking the ball.
-
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. |
