Drill (15 mins)

10 Minutes.

2 players required for this drill. (Striker and any other outfield player but preferably a player who would feed a striker a pass in a game).

- Stiker stands 2 yards outside the cones to start.

- Feeder passes the ball into feet of striker.

- Striker takes a touch to control the ball then another to create space against the mannequin to fire a shot at goal.

- Targets are placed in the goal as extra points.

- 1 point for scoring a goal, 2 points for hitting any targets.

Progression 1.

- Feeder now has the option to not only play a pass into the feet of striker but to play a through pass splitting mannequins and creating what would be a 1 vs 1 with the striker and GK.

Progression 2.

- Introduce a GK to defend the Goal.

- Progression 3.

- Introduce a defender to mark the striker.

Coaching points;

- Head over the ball when shooting.

- Use either laces or inside of foot.

- Concentrate on hitting the target before trying to break the ball by going for power.
