The Technique

As Players have couple of attempts, introduce the idea of striking one shot with they're laces, and the other with the inside of the foot.

Then also look to introduce where to aim in goal.

e.g. if on the right of the goal then aim towards the left corner hitting ball with laces, or if central, possibly (if right footed) try to use instep and aim towards right hand upright.

Keepers/Targets

Depending on whether GK's are availabe, they can now be introduced, or targets out in to challenge players.

Add in extra points for hitting target (pole or cone, or even jacket hooked in corner of goal), or if have keeper, points for on target and extra for goal.

If players are finding it easy, ask them to use weaker foot, if to difficult allow an extra touch.

SSG

Small sided game begins with an overload on both sides of the pitch, so red has an overload on one half (so red is the attacking side), and blue has the same on the other.

Attacking side scores by scoring a goal, defending by winning the ball. Once defence wins ball, roll to opposite end of pitch from goals and play restarts from there.

If player scores the swap halves (with one of they're other players) so all have turn attacking and defending. Or if preferred and players have specific positions you want to work on, leave defenders as defenders and attackers as attackers.

Progressions/regressions

Only allow attacking side 5 seconds before they have to shoot.

Introduce points... 1 point for shot, 2 if on target, 3 if goal (or hits targets if no keeper)

take player out of each side if not enough goals scored, to create more space, increase the overload.

Extra points for shots taken/ scored with weaker foot.
