5v5 Shooting Game (U17)
Simple but incredibly effective drill to work on shooting. Find the right angle, position yourself, strike, all while simulating match situations.
Create a 40x30m area with 2 goals on each side. We will conduct a 4v4 with 2 goalkeepers. The proximity of the goals (only 30m) will allow your players to practice a fast-paced game, and especially to shoot often at the goals.
Progression of the shooting exercise: start the exercise with unlimited touches then gradually reduce to 2 touches and finally 1 touch (depending on the technical ease of your group).
Emphasize the importance of shooting often at the goals.
