Can I add a defender for some added pressure
1st touch shooting
DESCRIPTION
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.

Hi Rohan.
Here's a good drill to add some progression! It brings in a defender to add a fun and competitive element to the game with this head to head style! It also works on speed and agility to get out to the ball as well as a players' ability to beat the defender one on one!

Number Shooting - 1v1
DESCRIPTION
Number 2 groups of players from 1-5 and get them to stand on either side of the goal. Call a number. The two players (one from each side) whose number was called race around the cones to enter the area. When a player has entered through the gate the coach feeds the ball to the side where the first player has entered. Player runs onto the ball and tries to score before the other player can make a challenge/block.
