Soccer Shooting

Learning Objectives: TSWBAT

- Use proper technique when shooting a soccer ball (power shot)


- Recall shooting technique cues
- Successfully shoot the soccer ball into the goal while being stationary, mobile and
from a variety of depths
- Encourage teammates and respect opponents

Introduction:

We will be focusing on improving our power shot and form today.

The main purpose for our shooting drills today will be to:

- Become more comfortable striking the ball on target


- Score more goals
- Gain confidence to attempt more shots during play

Skill Cues:

1. PLANT: with your non dominant foot about a steps length away from the ball
2. LOCK: shooting ankle should be locked and toe pointed
3. HIT: hit the middle of the ball with the laces or top of your foot for a power shot
4. SWING: swing straight through the ball

Activities:

Wall kicks:

This activity is an easy stationary way to practice your form and get warmed up.
- First find a wall or flat surface to kick against.
- Next, we are going to over-exaggerate our cues to really break down our correct
shooting technique.
- After planting, locking, hitting, and swinging retrieve your ball and get in as
many repetitions as you see fit to really home in on the form and get your legs
warm.
- This drill can all be done with your non- dominated foot.

1-2 shoot

This drill is another way to practice our shooting form while increasing a players

finishing skills. It also allows for lots of repetitions to improve accuracy on the move.

- The shooter starts at a cone or spot farther away from the goal while the passer is
positioned to the right or left of the shooter, slightly in front of them.

- The shooter makes a pass to the passer then moves forward to receive the second

pass. The passer takes one, or two touches, and lays the ball to either side of them

for the player to run onto to and shoot (1-2 shoot)

- The shooting player runs onto the ball and immediately takes a shot on goal.

- Players should retrieve their own shots before returning to the line.
First to finish

This drill challenges players to develop their shooting and finishing skills under

game like speeds. It can be played in teams, 1v1, against one’s self (trying to beat a

personal record).

- two goals or bounds are placed on one end line of the field

- Place one cone about 18-20 yards away from each goal. You can decrease, or

increase, the distance the cone is away from the goal depending on your skill

level.

- Place one cone along the end line, 5-8 yards outside of each goal.

- Players are divided into two teams with one player from each team competing at

a time. Each team has their own goal and cone that the players must dribble

around before shooting. When players score they count outload, winning a point

for their team. The team or players (1v1) with the most points at the end of the

round wins.
