SOCCER SHOOTING AND FINISHING SOCCER GAME
This drill focuses on players comfort level in striking long shots as well as close range shots, volleys, and headers.
Drill setup- Set up a cone 25 yards from goal.
- Players should line up behind the cone.
- A goalkeeper is in the goal.
- The coach is positioned near the goal with a large supply of balls.
- The coach plays a ball on the ground to the first player in line, so the shot takes place around the edge of the penalty area.
- After the shot, the coach follows up by tossing a ball to the same shooter. The shooter must volley or head the ball into the goal.
- If a player makes both shots, they choose another player to challenge.
- The challenged player must make both goals; otherwise, they are out.
- If the challenged player does make both shots, the original shooter is out.
- Instead of letting the younger players choose, make them challenge the next player in line.
