Station 1 (15 mins)

Organization: Set out a cone on about 5 yards from each post on the goal line. Put out a cone about 20 yards out from each of those cones.

Activity: A player on one side of the net will pass the ball to a player at a diagonal cone. The passer will immediately come out and pressure the ball and try to block the shot. The receiving player will dribble in and take the shot before the defender can stop or block them. Alternate sides. Shooter will grab ball and go to end of defender line (same side), defender will go to back of attacking line (diagonal side): PROGRESSION: 2 touch. 1 touch.

Coaching Points: Can players close in to get in good scoring position before defender is able to block shot. Is player able to make decision to get in closer for a more accuracy shot, but risk being closed in on by defender, versus shooting from farther away with little risk of being closed in on but farther away for a less accurate shot. Depending on distance from goal, laces vs. instep.

Station 2 (15 mins)

Organization: Set a pair of cones on either side outside the penalty area, placing one of the 2 cones about 2 yards closer to the net. (see diagram above)

Activity: 8 players. 2 players will line up at each cones. Begin with players at the right of the net. The player at the cone closer to the net begins as shooter with the ball, the player at farther cone is defender. On the attackers first touch play is live for a 1v1. The attacker will RWB towards goal and try to shot and score before the defender is able to catch up and knock or steal the ball away. If defender steals it, they can shoot. After shot, the 2 players go to back of opposite cones at the left of the net. Alternate side then performs same task. PROGRESSION: On first touch first players at each of 4 cones are live to make a 2v2

Coaching Points: Can the attacker attack the goal with speed to get shot off before the defender closes in to steal or knock away ball. Shoot from distance with more power and less accuracy vs closer up with more accuracy, depending on speed at which defender is closing in. Can players show good technique. Using laces with body over ball and good follow through from distance. Demonstrate composure and accuracy and use instep if closer in on goal with defender and goalies up close.

Station 3 (15 mins)

Organization: Set cones per diagram above approx 25 yards from goal. Numbering cones 1-4 in a diamond shape about 20 yards apart, with 2 cones forming a gate in the middle directly in front of goal

Activity: Approx 6 players, with 3 players lined up on each side behind cone #1. Coach will call out sequence of numbers, players will touch cones in order before racing through a central gate. The first player through the becomes attacker and receives a pass from a feeder, the other player becomes a chasing defender who tries to steal it. The attacker will try to shoot and score. If defender wins ball, they get to shoot on goal.

Coaching Points: Quick feet to get to cones and then through gate. Mental focus to recall order of numbers called. Technically players should look to make good first touch out of feet so that they have option to take quick shoot if they choose to, or perhaps RWB if have seperation from defender. Decision making, how close to get to net before taking shot and before defender catches up. On a breakaway with defender behind them, can attacker show composure to look at target and be accurate with shot.
