Far post goal

The player on the left passes the ball into the path of the player on the right. When this player receives the ball they continue to run with with it before passing the ball to the player on the far post who then has shot on goal.

The player passing to the far post continues to run after their pass and takes up a new position by the right post.

The practice can now start again from the other side.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Exploring the back line from left

Player 1 runs into the circle and if the defender does not approach, player 1 can shoot at goal. Alternatively if the defender approaches, player 1 can play a one two with player 2 and then shoot at goal.
Player 2 needs to run out to make him/her self available for the pass from player 1.
Same practice on the other side of the circle (see h500188an).

Shooting & Goalscoring

Far post goal

Player runs down the byline and passes the ball to a player on the far post. Who tries and scores with a first time shot.
Players run round the cone to get to the other queue.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Follow pass

Play alternates from going up the left, to going up the right.

The player waiting in the queue passes out to the wing, where the ball is passed up the wing, before being shot at goal. The player who took the shot then joins the back of the queue. All the other players involved, then move to where they passed to.

Common Mistake

Common mistake the ball being run by the side or behind the body you can see that the feet are also not pointing forward but slightly to the side.

Session Videos

Correcting the players to run the ball in front of the body

This practice is good to teach players to run the ball in front rather then by their side and to close to the feet. Ask the player to not move their feet while trying to push the ball as far forward as possible. Just before the player loses their balance they can start moving their feet while keeping the ball at the same distance throughout their run.

Correction technique

This exercise is very good for teaching players to run with the stick at the right angle. Make the players run with the ball with both their hands near the ground. and tell them that after a couple 5 meters they can come up slow to where they feel comfortable. This normally makes the players run lower then they where and also makes them keep the ball in front of them while running
