Quick Fire Shot

Aim: To improve quick hit shooting on the move.

How: To set up this drill put a cone down 3 yards to the right of the penalty spot and another cone 3 yards to the left. Place another cone less than 5 yards outside of the shooting circle to the right side. It should be around 13-15 yards from the back line. This is where the passer will start from so some balls should be left at this cone. Another 2 cones will need to be put down. 1 in line with the right goal post, 3 yards outside the shooting circle and the other in line with the left goal post, again 3 yards outside the circle.

At least 3 players are needed for this drill. 1 player will start at the cone in line with the right goal post and another player at the cone in line with the left goal post.

The player in line with the right goal post starts the drill by running into the circle at an angle, the passer plays the ball into the circle as the player is running. As the ball reaches the player they shoot a quick hit at goal. After hitting their shot they run around the cone to the right of the penalty spot and back to the starting cone.

Then the player in line with the left goal post makes a run, takes a shot and runs around the cone to the left of the penalty spot and back to the start. Give each player 10 attempts then swap roles so each player gets a chance to shoot from each side and pass the ball in.

Progressions:

Play with a goalkeeper
Swap the passer to left and make shooters hit a reverse shot.

Coaching Points:

Try to keep the feet shoulder width apart and spread body weight between the balls of the feet.
Aim to have the ball in line with the front foot as contact is made
A low center of gravity is best.
