Call a number. The two players (one from each side) whose number was called race around the cones to enter the area.
When a player has entered through the gate the coach feeds the ball to the side where the first player has entered.
Player runs onto the ball and tries to score before the other player can make a challenge/block.

Shooting

Pitch length run and shot:

White player 1 runs the length of the field at match pace and makes their move to run onto the ball served in by Red player 1.

1st touch shooting:

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.
