ENSURE THE GOAL IS NOT IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH THE RECEIVING PLAYER
Activity:
- The furthest from goal central player starts with the ball
- Ball is played in to closest to goal central player
- As that happens the wide player drops to receive with open body shape
- Ball is played wide and the receiving player opens up on their back foot before driving beyond the line but not shooting
- Make it a competition between the two teams
Progression
- The receiving player dribbles past the line and then shoots in to the net
- The receiving player opens up with one touch and passes in to the net with the other
- Original passing player from opposite team closes down the wide player
Coaching Points:
- Quick movement as the ball travels
