Quite often players get fooled by the name Free Hit and waste these opportunities to score by blindly smashing the ball into the D.

To help your players create more time and space inside the shooting circle we start with a communication warm-up drills, with three balls all moving round at the same time! We then get your players to move out to receive the pass before finishing with a couple of Free Hit practices - designed to improve the way your players find space for the shot!
