Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Shooting accuracy

Introduction (10 mins)

Organization:

Set the flat cones 10 feet apart and a few tall cones in the middle 15 feet away

every player has a ball

two players on each side will take turns

Instructions:

Dribble past the flat cone and shoot at target (tall cones)

Stay on the balls of the feet, small touches on the ball and laces for shooting

After shooting the players sprint to get their ball

For every tall cone struck the player gets 2 points

to reach the ball in 5 sec after taking a shot the player scores one point

Coaching Points/Questions:

Where does the chest and head should be positioned?

How can we stand tall when shooting ?

When can we look up to see the target before shooting?

Regressions/Progressions:

Regression, shorter distance to the tall cones

Progression, fewer tall cones, more distance, more flat cones to dribble through
