Skill Intro (20 mins)

Organisation 

2 teams start in a 20m x 30m area with each player starting with a ball. On coach's call player's will dribble the ball inside the area ensuring they are getting lots of touches on the ball avoiding other players. The coach will then call shoot which will prompt players to score in any of the four mini goals as quickly as ball. Once everyone has had a shot at goal, player's collect their ball and resume dribbling. 

Progressions

  • Player's can only shoot with a nominated foot 
  • When coach calls for players to shoot player's must shoot in two touches or less (make competition after a few warm up rounds)
  • Remove half the balls so half the players on each team have a ball and half do not. Players pass and move within their teams until the coach calls shoot in which case each player with a ball must pass to a player on their team to finish in two touches or less (make a competition after a few warm up rounds) 
  • 1 ball in play with possession team allowed to score in any of four goals (shot has to be two touches or less) with defending team passive defenders.
Coach Points
  • Use the inside of the foot to pass the ball into the goal
  • Point supporting foot at the intended target
  • Head over the ball when striking it
  • Strike through the middle of the ball
  • Practice using both feet

Skill Training (35 mins)

Organisation 

2 teams start in a 20m x 30m (2 halves of 20m x 15 m) with 4v2 in each half. The team objective is to score in the corners of the goal using two touches or less. The coach serves a ball into each half to start the game to the team with the overload. The possession team attempt to score as many goals as possible within a set time limit with 1 point gained each goal scored (must score in corners to get point) in two touches or less. If the defenders win the ball then the same rules apply with their goals worth 5 points each. After set time limit change the defenders in each half. If the ball goes out play will restart with the coach. 

Progressions

  • Double points for non-dominant foot goals 
  • Double points for one touch goals 
  • Add goal keepers
  • Even numbers in each half (defenders vs attackers)
Coaching Points
  • Scan before you receive the ball to shoot
  • Use your first touch to set up the shot and second touch to shoot 
  • Position yourself so that you are moving towards the ball's trajectory when you strike the ball
  • Always aim to score in the corners 
  • Practice shooting with both feet
  • Practice shooting from different pass receptions (cut-backs, early crosses, through balls)
  • Strike the ball with the inside of the foot
