Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
My players never seem to be able to execute a successful reverse stick shot when in the D. What are the key coaching points/technique for this skill that I should be highlighting to them?
I need some opposed shooting drills to improve my teams goal scoring ratio. Unopposed drills have not been working, and I really need to avoid cueing - any ideas ?
I really struggle to make practice fun and useful for the GKs. My attention is naturally focussed on the outfield players, meaning most of the time I simply have drills finishing with a shot on goal to keep the GK involved. Pretty boring for them. Any ideas how I can involve them more? Thanks, Charlie
