Set goal kicking drill 30m directly in front. Set up two cones at starting position approximately 40m from goal and two cones at the 30m mark. Have player run in a straight line and kick goal. Simulation of marked ball and set goal kick.
Primary areas of assessment: Kicking mechanics accuracy distance Teaching points: If player is running off the line of the kick, move the cones closer together to make the running lane smaller. Kicking mechanics should look for the drop of the ball, hand position and height of the drop. Run up form and kicking motion to the target. For group work: Position most of group behind the goals. Have a player on the mark in between the cones a few metres closer to the goal. The player on the mark will be the next kicker. Once kick is made the kicker returns to the goal line. A person from the group moves to the mark and the person who was on the mark is now the kicker.
