Shooting Course with Dribbling and Passing Techniques
AgeU6 - U13, U14 - U19
Training SetProgression, Main point
Number of Players6 - 9 players
Setup
Set up a shooting course as shown. Players position themselves with their ball at each station.
Procedure
Left outside station: The player dribbles through the cone slalom course. He starts his dribble to the left of the cone with the left inside of the foot. The ball should be controlled with both feet. This means: right of the cone = right foot, left of the cone = left foot. The shot on goal is taken with a right-footed curl. Center station: A passes the ball to C and overlaps C. C plays to B. B plays diagonally into A's running direction. A shoots on goal. Positions are switched after each run. Then the passing combination is practised in mirror image. A passes to B and overlaps B. B plays to C. C plays diagonally into A's running direction. A shoots on goal. Positions are switched after each run. Right outside station: The player dribbles through the cone slalom course. He starts his dribble to the right of the cone with the left outside of the foot. The ball should be controlled with both feet. This means: right of the cone = left foot, left of the cone = right foot (outside of the foot). The shot on goal is taken with a left-footed curl. The groups can either be fixed at one station for a certain time period, or they rotate clockwise after each shot. If there's no goalkeeper in the group, e.g., the shooter becomes the goalkeeper after each missed shot. Motivation help: Bets with the group: "You can't score 10 goals in 3 minutes. Loser does 15 push-ups." Or a bet goalkeeper vs. field players, no 10 goals. Loser does 15 push-ups.
Tip
- Make sure the passing is done with one touch and the ball is played into the running direction and not too far from the teammate. - The shooter should run toward the goal at high speed. - The players expecting the ball (B + C) make a counter-movement before the pass. - Demand different shooting techniques (inside of the foot, instep, outside of the foot, inside-instep, curling) - Fast dribbling through the slalom course. - Practice shooting with both feet. - Demand correct body posture. - When finishing, don't stop beforehand but shoot from the running movement. - 2 mini goal(s), 15 cones, 1 full-size goal(s)
