Shooting
Play 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 4v2
Ideally the team would be split into 2 groups to allow more repetition early in the 1v1, however we will only have 2 nets so let's progress from the 1v1 quickly to ensure more players active.
Coaching points
- When to shoot?
- How to shoot, laces v instep?
- Who shoots in the 2v2 and 3v2 etc. do not pass up a chance to shoot
- hunger to score, rebounds

15 mins
Power and Finesse
Team is split into 2 teams.
Coach passes the ball to the player who takes their shot (power) from outside the box with their laces.
After the shot, the coach passes a ball around the penalty spot for the player to take a 2nd shot (finesse) with instep to place it in a corner.
If the player scores no goals, they are eliminated and goes behind the goal to shag balls. If the player scores once they are safe and go back to their line. 2 goals means you can choose to save a teammate already eliminated or you can CHALLENGE!! If you decide to challenge, the next opponent must score both or they are eliminated.
Once 1 team is completely eliminated, the game is over.
