FineSoccer Drill 9 This is a simple shooting drill that includes shooting, passing, receiving, timing runs, goalkeeping and a little bit of conditioning. Put three cones down in a position as is shown in the diagram below:
One player is at cone 2 and one is at cone 3. Everyone else is at cone 1 with balls. The first person in line passes across to the player at cone 2 and then sprints directly behind her. The player at cone 2 one touches the ball toward the 18 and then goes to cone 3. The person at cone three receives the ball and finishes it first time. Everything is done at full speed and one touch. You can see the movement in the diagram below:
Dotted lines are the path of the ball and solid lines are the path of the players. Some of the keys to this drill is to require a full speed sprint after each pass and shot. Also emphasize that the first pass has to be hit with pace. Do NOT let the first pass run around cone 3 to get to cone 2. This is one of things that slows the drill down. As soon as player 2 touches the ball, the next person in line 1 should be ready to go. This is a very fast paced drill and after the player shoots, she must follow the shot and then quickly get to the back of the line. If you have enough players (say 16 or so), you can turn this into a competition where there are two teams. The first team goes does this drill for 3 minutes while the other team retrieves balls. After 3 minutes, they switch roles. Whichever team scores the most goals in this time period wins. If, at any time, the shooting team doesn't have a ball, they get credit for a goal since the other team didn't get the balls back in time. This is a fast paced drill that has a lot of positives and no negatives. Give it a try. Lawrence |
