Screen 1

Area:

Use the 11v11 penalty area.

Equipment:

Cones, poles, discs to mark area, 2x mini goals

Objective:

Players will split equally in 2 lines on red starting cone. player 1 will pass diagonally infront of player 2 around the edge of the penalty area. Player 2 will control the ball ahead of them to strike at the small goals between the 2 poles. The objective is to try to score in the small goals promoting accuracy. Once the player has taken their shot they go to the back of the opposite side queue. Now the player on the right queue passes diagonally to the player in left side to take touch and shoot. 

Key points:

emphasise the importance of moving ball to the side of the body  with final touch allow full mechanical striking advantage and not strike with ball dead in front of them. Encourage head up on final touch and look at goals to set sights and improve accuracy. 

Driven shot across goal

It is good practice to shoot across goal because the keeper may push the ball back into the danger zone alllowing for a second scoring chance. Near post shots saved normally end up in a corner. Promote taking touch slightly away from goal, drawing the goal keeper towards front post then striking across goal into opposite corner. Using driven pass technique with locked ankle and and short backlift and follow through whilst leaning forward to create straight shot with power and low accross the ground.

Key points:

Open body curled shot

When recieving on your unfavoured side you have to manouver the ball back onto your strongest side. in the picture a left footed player is not able to shoot properly across goal. They have 2 options. 1) the player quickly manouvers the ball to the left side of their body quickly which allows them to open their body and curl the ball to the goal on the far side. 2) When running onto the ball the player can slightly bend their run and open their body up which will put them in the same correct position. 2 players that use these 2 styles well are Thiery Henry (bending run/open body) and Danny Ings (shifts ball to side slightly).

unfavoured side touch back into centre, shoot near post

Another teqnique should you touch take you back into the centre on the goal on your unfavoured side is to shoot in the near post. This is a good tactic as the goal keeper will be transfering/shifting their weight to the side you have taken your touch. When you shoot into the opposite corner they are off balance, unable to recover and you have a greater chance of scoring .

Progression 1

Create some pressure by having a player close them down.The next player inline will chase after but not tackle. only put pressure on from behind. Once the fist player shoots the chasing  return to their staring position to be the striker and the person behind them becomes the chaser.

Progression 2

Create pressure from a diffrent direction. Have passing player starting position closer to the edge of box . Pass is sideways across the box. Passing player then presses striker from the side.The passing presser returns to the end of the shooting queue. The striker goes to the back of passing oressing queue.
