Pass and Shoot

Aim: Improve the shooting technique and accuracy of each player.

The player at the front of the line makes a run out and around the cone, the second player in line plays a pass in front of the player as the round the cone. The attacker takes a touch to control the ball and then shoots at the goal.

This is then repeated on the other side. Players are swapped after a few goes and encouraged to use their other foot.

The first touch of the player needs to be out in front of them and towards the goal so that they are set up for the shot.
