Shooting, run and pass:

Player 1 plays a through pass down the line for player 2 to run onto.

When player 2 reaches the pass and gets the ball under control they then cross the ball into the centre, along the floor or in the air, for player 3 to run onto and finish.

Shooting

Shooting across goal:

Set up two goals, one at either end of the half pitch and two narrow channels (with cones), one to the left and the other to the right of the goals.

Players must dribble with the ball using both feet through the channel towards goal. When they are within 15m of the goal they should prepare to shoot, with a shot across the goalkeeper into the far corner.

Shooting

Shooting the ball when it is coming across you:

Players set up in 2 lines with one central player who feeds you the ball. The ball must be struck first time. The other player follows in for a rebound.
