Soccer: Dribble, Drive and Strike

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

Players must run through the cones with the ball under control.

When they reach the final cone they have one final touch to set the ball and then they must shoot into the far corner.

After shooting players collect the other players' ball and then dribble to the back of the other line.

COACHING POINTS

No dawdling, after using their final touch to set themselves up players should shoot immediately.

It sounds obvious but make sure players are aware of others around them - no body likes getting a ball in the back of the head.

OFTEN USED WITH...

1st touch shooting:

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.

Shooting

First Touch And Rebound Shot:

Player 1 jogs backwards to the far cone and then sprints out to the first cone, ready to receive the pass from player 1.

Player 2 must take only one touch to set themselves for their shot on goal.

After shooting the first ball player 2 should then run into the box to pounce onto the ball played in by player 3.

Shooting

1v1 Finishing:

Every other player in each line has a ball.
The ball is played into space so that the attacking player can take the ball in their stride.
Once the player has the ball they try to score against the goal keeper.
The feed is then reverseed to the other side.
