Setup
Divide the team into 3 equal lines. Group A is on one corner of the penalty box near the end line. These players should have a large supply of soccer balls. Group B is on the other corner of the penalty box near the end line and Group C is at the top of the panalty box semi-circle. Also have your goalkeeper in the goal.
Instructions
The first player from Group A serves a flighted ball accross the face of the goal to Group B who takes the ball out of the air with a good control touch and passes the ball to Group C. Group C then takes a shot on goal. The players should rotate A, B then C.
Variations
- Restrict the number of touches (one-touch)
Coaching Points
- Focus on quality of flighted balls, control touches and shots. Players should learn to be more comfortable in front of the goal and focus on finishing the ball.
