  • A goal will be placed at each end of the pitch and the players will be split in to two groups
  • Players form each team will line up on the outside of the pitch
  • Player 1 will move in to the pitch and will receive a pass from a player from their group from the outside they will take control of the ball and take a shot to try and score past the keeper
  • After each shot players will rotate so everyone gets a chance to be the passer and shooter. 

  • After each round of shots players will be asked to perform a different type of shot so we can cover off the side foot, laced and curl shot.
