To get your players reacting quickly and working the keeper this Sportplan shooting session puts your players under pressure as we test their ability to hit the target with a first time shot.
When we say pressure, we mean the sort of pressure your attacking players are likely to experience in their next game - not having much time to control the ball before they're closed down by their opposite number.
To ensure your players have the right predatory instincts and don't take a touch too many this session works on getting the ball out from under your feet and taking the shot early, either after just one touch or first time! To do this we run through a series of sharp-shooter exercises, from a late pass, crossed balls and in a 1v1 race to the goal!
Test your players' reactions and shooting instinct with this Attacking and Finishing session!

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.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
