FineSoccer Drill 58

This is a shooting drill that has 4 lines, 2 goals and 2 keepers.  The goals are approximately 50 yards apart.  The set up is shown below

As soon as the player in Line A touches the ball going to Goal 1, the first player in Line D takes off to defend against her.  The whole purpose of this drill is to work on taking an early shot and really get to goal quickly and hard rather then slowing down and trying to turn the game into a 1 v 1 contest with the defender.  

While Lines A and B are going to Goal 1, Lines C and D are doing the same thing to Goal 2.  Players should rotate lines

By using this exercise, you can work on dribbling at speed, hitting a shot when the opportunity arises, finishing and following, closing the space when defending, angles, communication between a defender and keeper, as well as goalkeeping.  Plus, if done at speed, it can have a great deal of conditioning built into the exercise as well.

Give this a try and let me know what you think on the FineSoccer Forum 

Have a great day!
