Football: Pass and Follow to Shoot

Very good interactive coaching drills.

Matt

DESCRIPTION

Pass and follow drill with players focusing on hitting the target and practising shooting from both sides.

Going alternately players pass up to the feeder on their side who lays the ball off to the side.

The player then follows up the ball and shoot on goal. After the shot players collect their ball and join the back of the other line.

COACHING POINTS

Move the starting position closer to the goal with younger players.

They key here is for players to hit the target - don't let players leather the ball if they keep missing the target.

If necessary players should take one touch to set the ball before shooting.
