Emphasis:
Accuracy, one-touch finishing, hitting a moving ball.
Set-up:
A 4×4 yard grid is created using cones. Position 4-5 players around the “box” with a goalkeeper inside the box. A supply of extra balls may be placed around the perimeter.
Objective:
The players must pass the ball around the perimeter using 1 or 2 touches. After 3-4 passes ANY player may shoot the ball and try and get it through the box. The goalkeeper must stay with the play and try and save the ball before it passes through the cones.
Progression:
- Must shoot in three passes or less.
- Must use only 1 touch to pass as well as shoot.
- Make the grid bigger.
- Move the perimeter players closer.
Coaching Points:
- Keep your hips open so you can strike any type of ball passed to you from any angle.
- Keep your head down and watch the contact made with the ball.
- Small leg swing to redirect for power.
