U10 & U13 practice #4

Please don't move onto practice #4 unless you have done practice #3 (goal keeping).

Theme:  shooting

Objective:  learning or perfecting proper shooting technique


Coaching points:
-planting foot pointing at the target
-planting foot next to ball if too far back, ball will go up because you will be forced to lean
-striking ball with inside laces, toe pointed down ankle locked
-knee over ball (of striking foot)
-shoulder over the ball (head down as striking)
-quick snap and follow through
-always strike a moving  ball

We all have our favourite shooting drills, please use them, but ensure you move them along quickly if lines involved.  Make sure you are using goalies so that they can practice their goalie skills from last week.

Warm up- dynamic warm up
Organization:
Using marker set up two channels as shown
Form two groups with one group in each channel
Players carry out the dynamic movements as they move the length of the channel.
Then jog back along the outside of the channel to the starting position
Points to Stress:
Carry out the exercises at a jogging pace, initially.
Exaggerate the movements to get a full range of motion
Focus on balanced movement on each side of the body
Description:
1.
Players carry out dynamic movements as they move along the length of the channel. Working with a partner from the other group players should try to coordinate the movements. Each pair carries out the exercises at 5m intervals. Repeat each exercise at least twice before moving on to the next. Example of exercises to use:
a. Jog 
b. Jockey backwards (right & left)
c. Skipping forward 
d. Skipping sideways 
e. Heel flicks 
f. High knee raises
g. skip & groin stretch (inside to outside) 
h. skip & groin stretch (outside to inside) 
i. skip & kick (left & right) 
j. skip & upper body twist (right & left) 
k. cross steps
l. wide steps

THEN:  donkey tails 
play a quick game of donkey tails (give half kids pinnies that they put in shorts as tails, other half has to chase and get the tails, if you get a tail, put it on and then the roles switch (agility)

Last part of warm up, in pairs, about 2 metres apart each with a ball.  One player is the server, the other player is the person, striking ball.  Aim to strike ball served/lobbed to partner back to partners hands.   (Optional agility component:  Player striking the ball jumps sideways over their ball before receiving next serve)....Person striking the ball, works 5 on each foot side of foot (then switch roles) then 5 on each foot working the laces....one touch back to partners hands (ball always in the air)...starting to prepare for shooting...hitting on the laces.

Game: play with 4 goals to promote scoring and shooting

Skill session: shooting
set up as in videos or against fence to work on actual striking of the ball and using proper technique the videos review technique

Shooting lay off drill
simple activity of two lines, each kid with a ball facing coach/team mate.  Pass to coach or team mate who lays off the ball to side for a shot
(first drill on page) - worry less about if they are shooting in or out of penalty area

can adapt this drill slightly and add a defender, where the coach/player who was initially receiving for layoff, now this player is the attacker (back to net), defender behind them, attacker receives pass and needs to turn and play a shot on goal (have defender play dummy to start and play tight...then move to live defender)

four corners shooting drill
skill focus:  shooting under pressure
2v2 game
or

World Cup - play teams of 2 or 3 and if you lose the round your team goes in goal with the goalie

Game:  just play the beautiful game but coach shooting/attacking (this could include shape in order to get a shot!
