Coaching Pointers:
Divide players into two small groups. Groups are positioned on each side of the penalty area and attack opposite goals.
A receiver is positioned at a cone placed 5 yards from the second cone. The remaining players are placed at a cone with a ball each.
First player in line passes the ball to the receiver. The receiver must turn as efficiently as possible, quickly attack the penalty area and finish with a shot on goal. The second player moves to the cone and becomes the next receiver. After shot is taken the player must collect their ball, jog back to their group and join the end of the line.
Coach should keep track of goals scored and make a competition amongst players or groups.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
 Attack the goal with commitment.
-
Use a variety of techniques to turn, outside of the foot, inside, let the ball role etc.
-
First touch when turning should direct the ball in the direction of the goal and out of the feet.
-
The emphasis should be placed on "accuracy" and not power when shooting.
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.
Progression:
Can introduce a defender in each penalty area. Can insert a target man inside the box to play a "Give and Go" off. |
