Soccer: Shot Stopping from a Turn and Shot from the Angle

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...
Cornel

DESCRIPTION

  • Ball played into feet of the attacker with a passive defender or manequin behind them.
  • The Server takes one touch to roll the defender and get a shot away with the second touch.
  • Make sure the attacker does not take too many touches.
  • The attackers first touch should be wide but not too wide to make the angle so acute that it is difficult to get on target- If this is happening cone an area off in the 18yd box where the shot must be taken inside.

 

COACHING POINTS

  • Note the goalkeepers starting position and are they getting far enough into line and down the line. Think BBC of goalkeeping Ball Body Centre of the Goal.
  • Goalkeeper should not dive to early.
  • If the ball is parried does the goalkeeper parry into safe zones wide or back into the danger zone in front of the goal?

PROGRESSION

  • Defender can track back and make recovery run to protect the goal behind the defender
  • Initial server follows in to finish any rebounds not parried into safe zones
