Shooting Percentage under 12
Hi I am new to coaching and I am a numbers person thru and thru so wanna have a broad idea of a shooting % I can aim for with my under 12s team even if it's something i don't share with themI know technique is way more important at this age then makes/misses but I just want a broad bench mark to have in mind for the girls if that makes sense. Team is club level but low division and most players are pretty new Thanks
Hi Kayleigh, it is important to focus on developing good shooting techniques rather than worrying too much about shooting percentages. However, having a rough benchmark can be helpful for you as a coach.
For young players at a club level, a shooting accuracy of around 40-50% can be a reasonable target to aim for. This means if they take 10 shots, scoring 4 to 5 goals would be a good performance. As they improve their technique and gain more experience, you can gradually increase this target.
Remember, at this age, the emphasis should be on fun, learning, and improving skills rather than competition. Encouraging them to practice regularly and providing positive feedback will help them improve over time.
If you're looking for drills to help improve their shooting skills, you might find this session plan on developing shooting accuracy and power useful: 1 Developing shooting accuracy and power .
Keep up the great work!
