Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Shooting and Dribbling: Quick Fire

Animation 1

Shooting and Dribbling: Quick Fire
Set Up:

• Set up two diagonal lines of cones directed towards the center of the area, just outside the 18-yard box.
• Place one player (server) in the central area to receive passes and lay off the ball.
• Players line up at the starting point of each cone line with a ball each.

• Players dribble through the cones towards the centre.
• Players pass the ball to the server at the end of the cones.
• The server lays off the ball for a shot on goal.
• As soon as the player shoots, the next player from the opposite line dribbles through the cones.
• Continue the rotation to maintain rapid repetitions and minimise waiting time.
• Rotate the server position regularly to ensure everyone can serve and shoot.

• Players must take a touch to control the lay-off and then shoot.

• Players must use their weaker foot for both the dribbling and the shot.

• Set a timer and see how many goals can be scored in a set amount of time (e.g., 2 minutes).

• Introduce a passive defender to apply light pressure on the shooter.
