Penalty King

  • Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: Play takes place towards a full-size goal, and the shots are taken from the penalty spot.

Equipment: Balls, 1 goal.

Players: One player is in the goal, another takes the kick from the penalty spot. The remaining players wait at the D on the edge of the penalty area.

Procedure

  • The players take on the goalkeeper one after the other.
  • The first player tries to score a goal with a penalty.
  • If the ball is saved or the penalty is missed, the goalkeeper stays in the goal and receives one point.
  • If the taker scores, that player goes into the goal without receiving a point.
  • The previous goalkeeper does 5 press-ups and then joins the back of the queue.

Variations:

  • The next player behind the taker dictates how the penalty is to be taken, for example with the right foot, with the left foot, top left, bottom right or a Panenka.

Note: Drill idea by Eddie Plickat.

Tip

  • Demand a brisk sequence, so that as little waiting time as possible arises.
