Football: Shooting across goal

The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

Thomas

DESCRIPTION

Set up two goals, one at either end of the half pitch and two narrow channels (with cones), one to the left and the other to the right of the goals.

Players must dribble with the ball using both feet through the channel towards goal. When they are within 15m of the goal they should prepare to shoot, with a shot across the goalkeeper into the far corner.

COACHING POINTS

After players have had a shot they should collect the ball and join the back of the other line, ready to repeat the drill in the other direction.

In order for the shooting players to be successful the keeper cannot venture too far off their line.

Shooting players should keep their shots low and be aiming for the far bottom corner.

Progression:

Remove the channels but continue the drill as before - players should still be looking to hit their shots across goal into the bottom corners.

Shooting from range game:

This game can be played with almost any number of players.

In this game the pitch is 50 metres long, split into two 15 metre shooting zones (at both ends) with a 20 metre mid-section.

Players are allowed in all areas of the pitch but are only allowed to shoot outside of the 15 metre area.

Shooting

Run on and shoot under pressure:

This drill simulates a through pass being played for your attack to run onto and finish in a one vs one show-down with the keeper.

The two lines take it in turns to run.

The first player passes the ball for the attacker to run onto - once inside the box the attacker should run deeper inside the box and try to get the better of the keeper in a one vs one.

After shooting players should collect their ball and run to the back of their feeder's line. The player who played the through pass should follow their pass and join the back of the attacker's line.
