Passing, Receiving and Shooting 1 (20 mins)

Drill Objective:

This shooting drill focuses on combination play and building up for a shot on goal. There are multiple combination ideas to make the shooting drill more difficult progressively.

COMBINATION SERIES 1

Player A starts the first series by passing to player B.

Player B passes to player C.

Player C lays a ball into space near the top of the penalty box where player A can hit a first-time shot on goal.

COMBINATION SERIES 2

Player A passes to player B.

Player B then passes to player C.

Player C returns the ball to player A.

Player A lays off a ball into space for player C to hit a first-time shot on goal.

Coaching Points:

Good passing combination to feet while playing in 1 touch.

Good fluid movement keeping the body under control

Finishing with a shot on target.

Focus on body mechanics when striking the shot.

Drill Variations

Switch sides the players shoot so players are shooting left and right footed.

Be creative and make up other combinations as they are limitless.
