Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): S8 Shooting

Shooting Technical Diff Angles

Drill in action: Search youtube : Aaron Danks: 1v1 and 2v1 Attacking | FA Learning Coaching Session

Part 1: Pass and shoot unopposed

Outside player plays in ball, ball is played back, 1 or 2 touches (can be specified) and shot

Rotate outside player clockwise to change shooting positions

Then inside players become outside

Start with 1 player at a time and as players understand drill a couple of players completing drill at same time.

Part 2: Pass, shoot 1v1

• As Part 1, but inside player becomes defender when they return ball to create a 1 v1

Key Coaching Points: Shooting

• Look up and pick your spot for your shot (where is the GK? Shot placement).
• First touch to take the ball into a shooting position or to hold the ball up.
• Shot type - power / placed / lobbed / chipped / curled / outside of boot / inside of boot / laces.
• Early shot before the goalkeeper is set.
• Follow in shots in case the goalkeeper spills the ball.
• Unbalance defenders and goalkeeper by using your body movement and fakes.

• Pairs (but can be completed in small groups)

Equipment

• Balls
• Cones
