Soccer: 1 v 1 Attacking

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

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.

Set up two lines of players as show in the image, about 30m from the goals.

The first player dribbles with the ball at pace and then puts their foot on top of the ball, to leave it dead in front of the other player. The first player continues their run around the cone in front of them and then runs back inside the area.

The receiver uses a positive first touch to move into space and then try to finish through one of the wide goals.

The first player should have continued their run and now tries to put pressure on the receiver's shot.

Every other player in each line has a ball.
The ball is played into space so that the attacking player can take the ball in their stride.
Once the player has the ball they try to score against the goal keeper.
The feed is then reverseed to the other side.

Set up as shown.

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the field and plays a 1-2 pass with player 2 before passing out wide to player 3.

At this point, players 1 and 2 run towards the penalty area, ready to receive a cross, while one of the defenders goes out wide to put pressure on the crosser.

Player 3 will cross the ball into the box where players 1 and 2 will try to beat the defender to it and score.
