Pitch length run and shot:

White player 1 runs the length of the field at match pace and makes their move to run onto the ball served in by Red player 1.

Shooting

1st touch shooting:

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.

Shooting

Pass, run and shoot:

1) White 1 stands 10 yards from players.
2) Players pass ball to white 1 and run around the D; - white 1 lays ball off for each player to shoot.
3) Must be a moving ball.
4) Coach - angle of shot - technique and timing.

Number Shooting - 1v1:
