Before starting the drill, re-emphasise the grip and show ready position, lock position and strike. Get kids to do this on both sides. Then: - Set kids in pairs of 2 with roughly equal ability - Place 2 sets of cones about 5 metres apart - Each player has to try and score a goal against his oponent by striking on the ground. Take a break and demonstrate striking from the hand. Then repeat the above game with striking from the hand. Do 1-1 coaching for kids who can`t do it. Ensure throughout that you are encouraging striking on both sides.
