This can be difficult for goalkeepers, as clearly the forwards are favourites to score, so coaches should use 2 goalkeepers (one competing with the other to see who can present the most goals scored).

THE ATTACKERS MUST WORK AT CLOSE CONTROL, FEINTING, AND THE USE OF BOTH FEET - BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER GOING TO BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT WIDE OF THE ADVANCING GOALKEEPER.

In practice 2, six players form 2 groups (A, B & C) (D, E & F) and one player from each section (in turn) takes the ball, around 3 obstacles placed in front of them before shooting at goal.

THE COACH SHOULD INSIST THAT THEY TRAVEL WIDE AROUND THE LAST OBJECT SO AS TO NARROW THE ANGLE OF THE SHOT AT GOAL.
ALSO THIS MEANS, WHEN THE TWO GROUPS SWITCH POSITIONS THEY WILL BE GIVE THE CHANCE TO SHOOT, AND DRIBBLE, USING BOTH FEET.

COACHES SHOULD ENSURE GOOD TIGHT BALL CONTROL FROM EACH PLAYER, - DRIBBLING SKILL ONLY COMES THROUGH THE RIGHT STANDARD OF PRACTICE.

Also after rounding the last object the players should be encouraged to aim their shot at either (a) far post or (b) near post

whatever angle suits best considering the position of the goalkeeper.

Practice 3

To progress, a defender X is added, so as A attacks he now has to round X before shooting at goal.

It is up to A to make the right angle, using control and speed to get wide of X before shooting.

Once A has shot at goal, X returns to his position to face B, then C and so on.

Coaches must interchange defenders, so X is rested. While attackers must be made to concentrate at working with close control and pace.

ATTACKERS WHO FINISH WITH A SHOT AT GOAL COULD JOIN THE BACK OF THEIR LINE, THOSE WHO MISS THE TARGET COULD TAKE THE PLACE OF THE DEFENDER - THIS ACTS AS AN EXTRA COMPETITIVE ELEMENT TO THE PRACTICE
