The coach or a feeder player stands on the touchline.
Players from the outside of the box take it in turns to run into the penalty area and run onto the pass at the near post - with the intention of slotting the ball past the keeper.

Don't always shoot for the near post, try playing it across the keeper.
Rotate the feeding players regularly.
