Tip
- The goal is to learn the correct inside-of-the-foot shot, instep shot, inside-instep shot, and curling technique to increase shot power and shot precision. - Demand shots with the weak foot as well (always alternating once right - once left, etc.). - Pay attention to 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 (when shooting with the right, the right arm goes back and the left arm forward); eyes are on the ball at the moment of the shot). - As soon as one player has shot, the next starts immediately to avoid delays. - When the starting player opens with an aerial ball to the wall passer, 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. - The wall passer makes a short counter-movement as soon as the starting player goes into the backswing and then comes briefly toward the ball. - 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. - 2 cones, 1 full-size goal(s)
