Lightning Soccer

Lightning Shooting Game:

6-8 players

1 ball per player

5 cones

Organization:

Players start with ball at their feet at cone gate. On coach's command, first player in line dribbles and must shoot between the last two cones. After they shoot, they become the next GK. When a player scores they are save and cannot loose a life but if you miss then the next player in line can score and take a life away. If a player looses all three points then they must stand behind the goal. In this game, the player who was the GK, returns to the shooting line with a ball. Players cannot shoot until the player in front of them passes the last and final cone.

Game should be played continuous with no stoppages.

FYI-If you score, your fine. If you miss and do not score, the player behind you scores on you; that means you lose a life.

7. Once you lose all lives, you stand behind the goal. If you catch a ball in the air, you come back in with 1 life.

8. Play for a set time.

Coaching Points:

*head up

*specific shooting technique

*play quickly

*weight/accuracy
