Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Shooting from outside of the box

Screen 1

Set Up: 

Set up two cones 10 yards apart. 

Place one player near the box line and three players at the far cone, along with a goalkeeper.

Organisation: 

One of the three players passes the ball to the player near the box, then runs to the box to receive the ball and take a shot with minimal touches. 

After shooting, the player switches places with the passer. 

The passer joins the line at the far cone.

Screen 3

We'll play a regular 4 vs. 4 game. 

The blue team must shoot from outside the box. If they score with one touch from outside the box, it counts as 3 goals. 

After 5 minutes, we'll switch the teams and remove one player from the blue team, preferably the one who didn't score or scored the least.
