SOCCER SHOOTING AGILITY DRILL
This soccer shooting drill will focus on passing combination along with agility.
Drill setup- Place a goalkeeper in the goal.
- Set a winger player on either side of the field.
- Place a target player near the top of the penalty area.
- About 35 yards out, line-up 5-6 cones about 1 yard apart.
- The remaining players should form a line (with soccer balls) behind the line of cones.
- The first player in the line passes a ball outside to the winger player and quickly weaves in and out of the cones or training sticks.
- At the same time, the winger player plays a ball to the target player who lays the ball off to the first player as they come out of the cones.
- The first player should attempt a first-time shot on goal, if possible.
- As the shooter finishes their shot, they move to the right or left winger position to receive a pass from the next player in line.
- The former winger player becomes the target and the previous target player shags the ball from the last shooter and gets in line.
- Modify the agility performed by the first player: ex. Backward slalom, sideways slalom.
- Have winger and target players make check runs before receiving the pass.
