SOCCER SHOOTING AGILITY DRILL
This soccer shooting drill focuses on agility and check-runs after the pass.
Drill setup- Use 10-12 cones to create a channel ending near the penalty area.
- At the top of the channel, use 4-5 cones to create a line angled towards the corner flag.
- The coach stands at the end of the channel, nearest the goal, a couple yards inside the penalty area.
- The shooting players start 4-5 yards at the top of the channel with a ball.
- The first player in line (shooter) passes through the channel to the coach (or target player).
- The shooter makes a check-run down the channel towards the coach.
- The coach returns the pass to the advancing attacker inside the channel.
- The shooter once again returns the ball to the coach quickly backpedals towards the end of the tunnel in which he began.
- The coach lays a ball off to either side.
- The advancing shooter must quickly react to the direction of the pass, sprint around the end of the cones and take a shot on stride.
- To simplify, announce to players by pointing to the side you are laying off the ball.
- Create different shots by bouncing, spinning, or stopping the ball as you lay it off.
