Coaching Pointers:
A group of players with a ball each are placed at opposite goals. Two goalkeepers are positioned in goal. Identify groups using colored bibs. A cone is placed in the middle of the goals. On the coaches command, the first player from each group dribbles around the cone and has to score as quickly as possible. The first player to score wins a point for their team.
After shooting, players join the end of their group. The practice is then repeated by the next players in line. Coach should keep track of goals scored and make a competition amongst the teams.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Be alert to the coaches command.
-
Dribble quickly.
-
The emphasis should be placed on accuracy and power.
-
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 chip, lofted, low driven and bent shot.
