shooting U11 soccer drills

On a half-field for 7-a-side, place a passer on each side of the goal. Two groups of attackers are positioned 20 yards from the goal line facing the passers. Set up a hurdle 5 yards in front of the attackers.

The attacker must run towards the goal, jump the hurdle, and shoot on goal without stopping and without controlling. The passer makes a pass of about 10 yards. The attacker then becomes the passer.

The hurdle adds a bit of stress to the attacker and forces them to refocus on the shot afterward, very useful for working on match situations.

Remind them that information gathering and concentration are crucial. Emphasize the importance of being dynamically on their toes, attacking the ball, and orienting their body towards the pass.
