If you have extra time with a particular group and the shooting is looking good, divide them into 3 lines. 2 of them about 10 feet midfield of the penalty area, and one of them out of bounds on the goal line just outside the penalty area. One attacker starts and makes 1 pass to the second attacker. Release at the same time one defender from well inside the penalty area who tries to pressure. This should be biased so the attacker can get a shot off, but with some pressure. The shot should ideally occur before the defender fully arrives on the scene.
Optional for each group you get of 4 - 5 players. Start with first shooting drill each rotation.
