Soccer Training - Shooting Drills 3

Every soccer player loves to hear the ripple of the net as the ball flies past the keeper's outstretched hands. There is no question why shooting is a favorite skill to learn. Shooting is very complex and requires many movements to come together in order to strike the ball properly.
The correct procedure means everything when it comes to shooting the ball. Here are some drills to improve shooting accuracy.

A lot of these drills are okay but what I'm really looking for is drills that will keep ALL kids engaged at all times, with limited time needed for fetching balls and the like. Here half the team is doing nothing from the beginning. The other 40% are waiting their turn. Passing drills are ok because balls don't usually get wild places, but shooting ddrills with good drill mechanics to keep the ball in play and kids engaged are much harder to design

Smaller goals (and more of them), and if you dont have goals use cones (hit the cones). you have a maximum of 3 players in a "queue" and instead of having the same player doing the drill 5 times in a row, you keep changing the player doing the drill, that way you get a flow in the drill. Have the players keep count, a hit is 1 point - the player with most points gets pancakes from the rest.

Great drill, very useful!

Accuracy over power when shooting inside the PA is key to teach young players. As they mature and develop, they can begin to use instep surface to get more power on the ball for shooting, but I always point out that even professionals go back to using side of foot surface when they want to ensure good placement in goal (aka side of GK).

Keep in mind this drill is 11 yrs old. This old-school coaching is fun to watch but wont be effective in today's soccer world
