Setup
With a keeper in the goal, have the remaining players line up behind a cone set up 25 yards from goal.
Instructions
Players are played a ball from the coach on the ground to the first player in line, so the shot takes place around the edge of the penalty box. The coach then follows up with a tossed ball that must be volleyed or headed in the goal. If a player makes both shots, they choose another player to be challenged. The challenged player must make both goals, otherwise, they are out. If the challenged player does make both shots, the original shooter is out.
Variations
- Instead of letting the younger players choose, make them challenge the next player in line.
Coaching Points
- Good Striking Body Posture
- stay under control on flighted balls (composure)
- Have players land on kicking foot when striking first ball
