Shooting Small sided game (25 mins)

6 v 6 4 defenders 2 attackers each team + GKS

Create a small field approximately the size of the penalty area (18X44 yards) and mark the center point of the field with cones. Taper each of the sidelines towards the goals on each end of the penalty area. The field should be tapered to avoid bad shooting angles. Organize players in a 4v2 (4 defenders and 2 attackers) in each half of the field. Players are restricted to the side of the grid they were originally placed. Spare soccer balls should be placed near each of the goals for quick retrieval and quick restarts.

The defenders have to shoot from their own half of the field and the forwards should follow any shots from the defenders and finish any rebounds. If the ball is shot and the goalkeeper recovers the ball, they should quickly distribute the ball to their defensive players and the play should continue. If the ball is shot over the goal, a new ball should be retrieved from behind the goal and play should resume quickly. Players should be encouraged to take half chances and limit the number of touches before shooting. Forwards should follow any shot for rebounds.

Progression: defenders touch limit 3 touches

attackers 1 touch

Shooting and Finishing Technical (25 mins)

Two lines beside each post with balls

Two lines of players 20 yards out at markers

GK in net

Players pass ball diagonally across to player waiting in line. Player takes a touch and looks to shoot on goal. (be aware of penalty area on smaller field and encourage players to shoot before this)

Start with pass on the ground and progress to tossing ball in the air for players to take down and finish (if they get to that point)

Coaching points:

First touch to set up shot

See goal

Body positioned balance

Part of fooT/part of ball
