Shooting with Coordination Exercises I

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

  • 1 Coordination ladder
  • 6 flat hurdles
  • 10 rings
  • 5 flat cones

Procedure

  • Players line up behind Player A, Player B acts as a passer.
  • Player A skips through the coordination ladder with 2 ground contacts in each section. Then, they laterally skip over the hurdles with 2 ground contacts each.

Variant 1 (Red)

  • Quick sprint to the cone, flat pass from Player B to A. A controls the ball, dribbles to the penalty area, and shoots.

Variant 2 (Yellow)

  • One-two pass between Player A and B. Long sprint to the cone, skipping through the coordination rings: double rings with one foot each, single ring with both feet, short sprint to the cone. Player B plays a high lofted ball to Player A (back to goal) who controls the ball and shoots.

Tip

Coaching Points

  • Coordination exercises: Focus on correct arm and leg movement during skipping (pulling knees up and swinging arms at right angles)
  • Ball control and receiving: In both variants, there's always an opponent at the player's back. Ensure the ball is always received and controlled with the inside of the foot, keeping the opponent behind.
  • Player B: Ensure correct execution of flat or high lofted passes (position of shooting and standing foot!)
