Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): shooting session Week 3- movement off the ball to shoot

receiving the ball to shoot (20 mins)

Drill-

3 lines - even out the players

Line 3- players makes a diagonal pass across to player 1, player 1 takes a touch dribbles to goal and shoots with their left foot after they shoot they come back towards line 2 and acts as a passive defender.

Line 2- dribbles out and attacks the defender, they then makes a move ( fake and take, scissors etc) to get by the defender and shoot. Alternate shooting foot- if you go right the first time next time make your move going to the left and shoot with your lrft foot.

Line 1- players makes a diagonal pass across to player 3, player 3 takes a touch dribbles to goal and shoots with their right foot.

Progression 1

-Player 1 can either go inside"B" and shoot with their R or L foot. Example player 1 passes to player 3 his first touch is inside and shoots with his L foot, When player 3 passes to player 1 his 1 st touch is inside and shoots with his R foot.

Progression 2-

-Coach in black can act as a passive defender moving from Line 1 to Line 3, coach can position himself to force the attacker either to his left or right foot. This is game realistic which makes the attacking player think what they will doing based on the positioning of the defender.
