Hockey Session (Under 18s): Goal Scoring (Varied Shot Selection)

Screen 1 (20 mins)

Four Shot Goal Scoring Drill:

1. The foward starts at the P spot and runs into the red box to receive a pass (closed reception)for them to stop, pivot, and shoot on the second touch.

2. After taking the first shot the forward runs laterally across the circle receiving a pass on the forehand  from station 2 in front of the cones and continues with the ball to just past the cones where they take a shot on the run.

3. After the second shot the player runs to the P spot for a hard hit from station 3 for them to deflect.

4. The final ball is a bouncing ball from the coach behind the goal for them to flick or push on the second touch.

PROGRESSION:

-Round 1 is 4 shots

-Round  2 is 8 shots (repeat the sequence)

-Round  3 the passes from station 1 and 2 go in bouncing and on the 4th shot it must be taken on the first touch.
