This session gets players finishing from close-range, when expectations and pressure on your strikers are high, and a cool-head under pressure is needed to beat the keeper.
To help your side avoid sure-goal misses this session gets your players working in small, congested areas - working on shooting quickly inside the box.
What's in the Session?
This plan opens with a fun ice-breaker before then getting players used to working under pressure, playing in small areas and working on their first time shooting.
By getting the shot away first time, your players can ensure they don't give the opposition time to close them down and catching the keeper off guard.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
