Coaching Pointers:
A group of players with a ball each are placed at opposite goals. Two goalkeepers are positioned in goal.
On the coach's command, the first player from each group dribbles towards the opposite goal. At the mid-way point both players exchange balls, turn with the ball and try to score.After shooting, players join the end of the opposite 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 players.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
 Be alert to the coach's command.
-
Dribble quickly.
-
Use a "reverse" pass when exchanging balls.
-
Turn as economically as possible with the ball. Get the ball out of your feet and into a shooting position quickly.
-
The emphasis should be placed on accuracy and power when shooting.
-
Remember to keep the head steady and eyes fixed firmly on the ball.
-
Expect the goalkeeper to drop the ball and follow in on all rebounds.
Encourage players to use a variety of shooting techniques such as the chip, lofted, low driven and bent shot. |
