Liverpool Box Shooting Drill

.
 
Exercise Objectives:
This practice is a high tempo shooting exercise designed to improve accuracy and power. This is also an intense work out for your goalkeepers.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   Full Size Goal with Goalkeeper
   Penalty Area
   Cones or Flag poles
   Supply of  Balls
 

Coaching Pointers:
Two flag poles are positioned 20 yards from goal and 15 yards apart. Players are divided into four groups. Two groups with balls, stand either side of the goal. Two groups stand at each flag pole, as in the diagram above. A goalkeeper is placed in goal.

The practice starts when the first player in “group 1” passes to the first player in “group 2” and follows his pass. The player in “group 2” has only “one touch” to control the ball then he must shoot at goal. He then follows to join “group 4” on his right.

The player in “group 3” passes to the first player in “group 4” then runs behind the goal to “group 1”.  The player in “group 4” has only “one touch” to control the ball then he must shoot at goal. He then follows to “group 3”. In affect, each player serves twice and shoots twice, in that rotation.

Focus On:
  Accuracy over Power.
  Reacting to rebounds.
  Goalkeepers shot stopping.
