Shooting (15 mins)

Shooting

Play 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 4v2

Ideally the team would be split into 2 groups to allow more repetition early in the 1v1, however we will only have 2 nets so let's progress from the 1v1 quickly to ensure more players active.

Coaching points

- When to shoot?

- How to shoot, laces v instep?

- Who shoots in the 2v2 and 3v2 etc. do not pass up a chance to shoot

- hunger to score, rebounds

Power and Finesse (15 mins)

Power and Finesse

Team is split into 2 teams.

Coach passes the ball to the player who takes their shot (power) from outside the box with their laces.

After the shot, the coach passes a ball around the penalty spot for the player to take a 2nd shot (finesse) with instep to place it in a corner.

If the player scores no goals, they are eliminated and goes behind the goal to shag balls. If the player scores once they are safe and go back to their line. 2 goals means you can choose to save a teammate already eliminated or you can CHALLENGE!! If you decide to challenge, the next opponent must score both or they are eliminated.

Once 1 team is completely eliminated, the game is over.
