Shooting

Slalom Shoot:

Players run forward, receive the pass from behind and then dribble through the cones.

On reaching the final cone players take one touch to tee themselves up and then shoot.

Shooting Under Pressure:

Groups of six. Position players as shown in the diagram. One server and one attacker on each side of the goal with a single defender to the side of the goal. Repeat in another area for a total of 12 players.

Player 1 passes ball into space in front of player 2. Player 2 one touches and shoots on goal. As soon as player 2 touches the ball, the defender may move to challenge the shot. Repeat the practice in the opposite direction. Rotate positions.

Progression: When player 2 touches the ball, player 1 may move in to challenge the shot from behind.
