This drill improves slapping and shooting. At the cone a player must slap the ball across the D towards a player on the edge. They must then sprint to follow the ball. The next player slaps the ball across the top of the D and follows the ball again. The reciever then takes the ball just into the D and takes a shot at the keeper. The reason the players must sprint after the ball is because if they are too slow, they will be in the firing line of the shot.
To hit the ball as a shot, the player must place the ball in front of them at their left foot and hit the ball with a bit of flexibility in their arms.
