Any good drill ideas for just one person?

Any good drill ideas for just one person.... I'm a shooter but I don't have any access to a net? I would love a good drill that improves my accuracy at shooting! Any other drills for one person would be great though!

Hello Nahid,

That's a shame you can't get access to a net but there's lots of practices you can do to improve your technique.

For starters there's a lot of wall drills you can use to improve your passing and movement. In addition to this you can try working on your stationary shooting technique (see video below).

Instead of shooting into a net though try doing this straight up into the air so that you can catch the ball without having to move. You can then practice passing the ball to yourself and then shooting after having caught the ball (testing your balance). This will improve your balance and stability.

Best of luck,

Goal Defence Intercepting: Driving Into the Ball, Not Chasing the Player

The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
