Close Range Shooting - In and around the Penalty area

This Sportplan Session looks at finishing from close-range, when expectations and pressure on your strikers are high, and a cool-head under pressure will help your team to slot the ball past the keeper and give your team that all important goal!

To help your side avoid sure-goal misses that smart alecs on the sideline think their gran could've scored this session gets players working in small, congested areas - working on shooting confidence and ability.

To get things off to a flying start we open with a fun ice-breaker before then getting players used to working under pressure, playing in small areas and working on their first time shooting!

By getting the shot away first time your players can ensure they don't give the opposition time to close them down and catching the keeper off guard!
