DESCRIPTION

Set up 3 cones (or poles) spaced as shown in the diagram.

Have a mannequin positioned on either side of the middle, just before the penalty box.

Have a Player positioned on the backline to the left side in the penalty box with a ball.

Have another Player (W) positioned out wide to the right side with a ball.

A Player starts halfway between the centre circle and goal; dribbles the ball around the cones and in between the mannequins to take a shot.

After first shot, Player quickly moves around the left hand mannequin and gets a cross from the wide player. Then the Player recovers around the right hand mannequin to receive the ball from the player on the goal line.

Rotate the players around ever play (shooter > winger > backline player > shooter line)

COACHING POINTS

The striker:

Keep eye on the ball through whole process
Important not to slash at shots
Stand at roughly 45°, to be able to see the pass and goal
From the cross:
- Use the pace of the ball to guide in if you can.
- If the ball is coming to the near post then Players can use a glancing header. If it's going to the back post then they have to guide the ball back to where its come from.
Short ball:
- Because the ball is travelling towards the striker it is often blasted over the bar. Therefore it is important for Players to keep their head over the ball and shoot low. They should use either the instep or powerful sidefoot to "guide" it. Can get more accuracy with a sidefoot.

Rationale:

The short pass is replicating a pull back from a winger in a game situation.

It is important for the striker to keep moving instead of being static to move Defenders and create space.

Running back around the mannequins helps to do this. Also entering the box from outside replicates a midfielder running into the area.

OFTEN USED WITH...

2 v 1 overlap switch:

Two attacking players against one defender.

The player who starts with the ball passes the ball square to the other player. This player runs towards the defender (isolating the defender) allowing the other player to loop round and overlap them to receive the ball in the space created.

After receiving the pass this player should then have a shot at goal.

Shooting

1st touch shooting:

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.

Shooting

Box Shooting:

Players line up in 3 groups.

Player 1 from the left of the square moves into the square.
Player 1 from the top of the square plays the ball into the player in the square.
Player 1 then moves in on goal.
Then rotate the players moving into the square.

Shooting

2 strikers, 3 shots:

Have a mannequin on the edge of the penalty circle, and another in line with it out, out at the left hand corner of the penalty box.

Players positioned on cones 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the diagram, each with a ball.

Player 1 dribbles a ball to the mannequin in front of them, feints one way then moves the ball the other way to shoot. The Player then runs back towards the next mannequin and receives the ball from Player 2. Player 2 runs up to the right of the mannequin and Player 1 lays the ball off to them to take a shot.

Both players then run in to receive a cross from Player 3, on the outside right. (Player 1 takes front post, Player 2 back)
