Technique

If you have a large group of players and the right equipment you can make the shooting exercises interesting and fun, whilst still concentrating on technique. Players must concentrate on striking the ball with the laces part of their boot. Tell them to relax and follow through on contact, don’t lash out at the football. Gradually build up the exercises to more difficult drills.
  • Players dribble to line and shoot at goal.
  • Players pass ball forward to line, then run and shoot.
  • Players juggle ball to line then volley at goal.
  • Players dribble to right hand cone and shoot.
  • Players dribble to left hand cone and shoot. Get players to shoot across the goalkeeper.
  • Same as 4 & 5 but defender stands on left cone. Player must dribble to right cone and shoot before defender tackles him (do alternate cones ). Players must take less touches if they want to get their shot on goal.
