25 mins
Organization:
- 4 cones placed as shown
- 1 goalkeeper
Instructions:
A
- Ball is received from the end line
- Player 1 plays a pass to player 2 who takes a positive touch at a 90 degree angle and look to curl the shot to the far post
- Repeat on both sides of the field
B
- Ball is received from a wide position
- Player 2 starts by facing player 1 and having back to goal

Coaching Points/Questions:
- shooting technique - curled shot
- positive touch ahead to run onto our shot
- shift focus from a driven shot with power to accuracy - we want to be aiming for the corners
- approach the ball side on
- head up to identify goalie position
Regressions/Progressions:
- P: Player 1 applies pressure to player 2 immediately after playing a pass
