Creating and Capitalizing on Goal Scoring Opportunities

  • Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

  • Cones to mark fields and positions
  • Set up Station A and a playing field Station B
  • Divide into three teams

Procedure

  • Station A:
    • The first player in the middle dribbles and shoots at the goal with a goalkeeper.
    • The second player in the middle dribbles and also shoots at the goal.
    • The right winger crosses into the middle to the two central attackers. Then the second round follows, and so on.
  • Station B:
    • Two teams play 3-3 or 4-4 towards one goal with a goalkeeper.
    • The goalkeeper starts the game with a throw to a player from the red team, who is positioned at one of the corner markers (yellow cones).
    • The red team chooses the player and the point of player opening through communication independently.
    • If a goal is scored, the team retains possession through a new player opening by the goalkeeper. If the ball goes out, the throw-in rule applies, and the start of the new round always begins with the goalkeeper.
