With a lot of junior teams you'll often find that they panic when faced with goal and wait too long to take the golden opportunity they've been presented with.
To get players shifting the ball more quickly and taking their chances on their first touch we look at developing their sweeping strokes on the front stick.
Not only is this a fast shot that is likely to catch keepers off guard but it's also a very powerful one which, when performed correctly, allows players to put their entire body behind the ball - winding up from the hips all the way to their shoulders!
Wind up for the shot and sweep away your opposition!
