Ball Striking

Explanation:

The players are divided into two teams and are placed on opposite sides of the field. Each team starts with three balls and can only shoot from behind a line of cones. However, they can go over the line to retrieve a ball. The aim is to knock footballs off the central cones (when balls are knocked off, they can then be retrieved and used). The winning team is whoever knocks the final ball off the cone.

Coaching Points:

1. Check the target one more time before you shoot.

2. Use the inside of the foot for accuracy.

3. Approach the ball at a 45 degree angle.

Progressions:

1. Vary the distances of passes, giving both teams some targets that are closer and further away.
