Shooting
Nine goals in six games. Target Practice is where shooting starts.
The coach’s tip
Plant your standing foot beside the ball, pointing at the target, and strike with your laces.
Train it: Target Practice
Set up targets (cones, water bottles) in a goal area. Shoot from 8-12m trying to hit them.
10 minutes, 1 to 2 players; soccer ball, cones/water bottles as targets, goal or wall.
