  • 1 min read

Players: 2+ | Difficulty: 1 |


Description:  Shooting into the side netting from multiple angles.



Instructions





  1. An outside players/coach is set at each goal post.

  2. When about to pass, one player/coach yells a color.

  3. Player A will turn and sprint to and around that color cone outside the 18yd box.

  4. The coach/player will then yell a side (left/right) and pass Player A the ball.

  5. On the run, Player A will shoot to that side of the goal.


Rules

  • Player A must round a cone, then shoot the incoming pass to the side of the goal that is called.


Setup

  • 3 Different colored cones set up 3-5 yards apart on top of the 18yd box or D.

    • If you don't have different colored cones, you can instead call a direction.



Rotation


  • Players rotate out after 2-4 repetitions.



Coaching Points




  • Can make 1 or 2 touch.

  • This drill focuses on players shooting from multiple angles.

    • (Ex. If a player ran around the Red Cone & is getting a pass from the left post, the angle is different than if they got the pass from the other post or had to run around a different cone).

  • Can the player slot each angle of pass into the corner of the goal?

  • How firm of a pass can the player accurately shoot & place?

For Youth Coaching:

  • Slow passes in from the outside.
