Drill

Start position - Player 2 stands on the 18 yard box with lags open.

Player 3 has a ball at his feet.

On the coach's shout, Player 3 plays the ball through Player 2's legs.

player 2 turns and shoots first time then goes back to the opposite line.

Player 8 then plays the ball through Player 7's leags and so on...

6 shots each.

Look for quality of shooting using both feet.

Make the goalkeeper work!!!

Progression

1. Play 1 - 2's turn and then go
2. Volleys - instead of playing the ball through legs
3. Heading - Servers pick the ball up. Players waiting will face the goalkeeper. Server plays the ball over the players head. Server does not shout 'Go', he will go when he sees the ball.

Look for:

1. Quality of throw from Server.
2. Quality of strike from Player.
3. Quality of technique.

Again, make the goalkeeper work!!!

In Addition

Players fetch the football if they miss the goal.

Finish with diving header game.

40 minute session.

Work with goalkeepers on positions, handling and parries away from the danger area.

**** All players react to secondary chances ****
