Set up two goals, one at either end of the half pitch and two narrow channels (with cones), one to the left and the other to the right of the goals.
Players must dribble with the ball using both feet through the channel towards goal. When they are within 15m of the goal they should prepare to shoot, with a shot across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
After players have had a shot they should collect the ball and join the back of the other line, ready to repeat the drill in the other direction.
In order for the shooting players to be successful the keeper cannot venture too far off their line.
Shooting players should keep their shots low and be aiming for the far bottom corner.
Progression:
Remove the channels but continue the drill as before - players should still be looking to hit their shots across goal into the bottom corners.
