Take aim and fire! Hit the target and test the keeper with this session, designed to improve your players' shooting percentage

The practice starts with the first red player dribbling their ball to the goal line before passing the ball back to the player who is on the penalty spot.

The player receiving the ball then shoots at goal and the player who made the pass (red player 1) carries on their run to the penalty spot to replace player 4.

The same happens on the left hand side and the practice continues to loop around alternating from the the right and then the left.

This challenge requires two teams; team 1 has to try and score with two touches (1st into the circle 2nd to shoot).

Team 2's players have to try and stop team 1 having a shot (they can start defending when player 1 has made the first touch).

Scoring:

Team 1 score a point for a shot at goal, and score 2 for a goal.

Team 1 starts with 3 lives. They lose one each time they are stopped or miss the goal.

When all lives are lost teams swap round.

Ball fed in to any attacker. The defenders defend against all 3 attackers. The attacker who receives the ball either shoots or passes to a free attacker.
Player that shoots, comes out to the top of the circle. The player that passed the ball into the circle, takes their place.

Player 1 runs around the outside of the cones, accelerating at the turn and receiving the ball from the wide player. Then the player runs into the circle and takes a shot at goal.
Alternate sides. Players should return through the middle.
