Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): GU14 Alton - Shooting (Start Time: 2013-10-18 15:45:00)

Shooting with driven pass (1) (15 mins)

Players are in 4 small groups. The red players all need to have a ball and will play a long driven pass diagonally across to a blue. Blue will take a good first touch then shoot. Everyone rotates clockwise. If the pass is weak instruct attacker to shoot first time. As soon as shot has been taken the next pass should be made.

Coaching points

- Positive first touch

- Head over the ball not leaning back

- Aim for corners

2v2 with 2 Goals (20 mins)

Players are split into two teams and then on either side of the goal. One line on each team needs a ball ready to enter the field. Two blue players attack the opposite goal. Once they have taken shot or the ball is out of play two red players will come on as attackers and blue defend. If the ball goes out on the red half of field two new red players come on and vice versa.

Coaching Points

- Shoot as early as possible

- Touch away from defender

- Decision when to shoot and when to pass

Variations

- One or both defenders have to run back and touch their post before defending to create more opportunities for shots.
