-make it a competion how many goals you score

If working with younger players- have the coach stand in the middle to stop the ball if it starts to go out.

Coaching points-

- angle of approach( by adding the pole it gets the players to get the correct angle of approach)

- part of the foot and part of the ball

- lean over the ball( to keep the ball low)

- follow through with your kicking leg( should end following through to where you want the ball to go)

- position of none kicking foot( beside the ball)

- after you make the pass you quickly get around the flag pole and attack the ball with speed( to generate more power)
