Shot on Two Goals After Down-the-Line Pass

- When the passer goes into the backswing, the receiving player starts. - Pay attention to correct body posture when shooting: upper body over the ball; plant foot approx. 30-40 cm offset to the side of the ball, foot pointing in the shooting direction; arms swing along; the arm closest to the kicking leg follows the leg's backswing motion, the other is brought forward; eyes are on the ball at the moment of the shot. - Make sure that shooting with both right and left foot is trained. To do this, you can have players shoot only with the left from one side and only with the right from the other, or the passers switch. - Different shooting techniques (inside-of-the-foot shot, instep shot, curling, volley, etc.) can be practised (possibly on the coach's instruction). - The ball reception and control should be a fluid movement. Excessive bouncing of the ball or reception deviating from a straight running path should be avoided. - Ball reception and control should generally be done with one touch; the shot on goal is thus taken with the second touch. - When the starting player opens with an aerial ball, it should be played with the inside-instep. This gives the ball a linear, slightly rising flight path and can thus be transferred much faster from A to B compared to a curving ball played with the inside of the foot. - When receiving the ball with the chest, the upper body must be turned toward the goal at the moment of contact, thus guiding the ball in the desired direction. - For the volley shot, the upper body should be slightly bent forward and the ball struck at a low point (not too high). This gives the ball more power and greater accuracy. - 4 cones, 2 full-size goal(s)
