Session 16: Shooting Progression

Session 16: Shooting Progression
Age Group: U10
Duration: 1 Hour

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Assess the goalkeepers position
2. Final touch will set up shot
3. Shoot low across gk to far post
4. Accuracy before power
5. Disguise shot, chip shots, swerve on ball
6. Rebounds in
WARM UP: 15 MINUTES
The same warm up as Session 15 is used to get the players into a shooting frame of mind for the main activity.
- Grid size 20m x 10m
- Ball each, half the group are given bibs
- Players work down the outside and back up the inside of cones
- Leave a 2m gap between each player on the move
- Coach demonstrates an activity for players to perform (stepover, dragbacks, inside/outside turns etc)

Progression to get the players in a shooting mindset:
- Using the same grid pair the players off facing each other 10m apart
- Ball between each pair
- Each player on their toes to reamin warm and ready to react to ball
- Ball in hand the player drops the ball and strikes it before it hits the ground (use laces, toe pointed down, strike centre of ball), try to stirke into partners arms
- Coach rotates pairs to allow players to practice with a different partner

MAIN ACTIVITY: 25 MINUTES
- Grid size 36m x 40m
- 3 teams of 4 players, 2 goalkeepers
- Goals can be scored from anywhere on the pitch
- An extra goal can be given if a goal is set up by end-line from a pass from the defending player
- When a goal is scored play starts from the goalkeeper
- A player must stay in the attacking half at all times
- Coach rotates teams every 2-3 minutes

Shooting key factors from Session 15 are used.






CONDITIONED GAME: 20 MINUTES
The main activity of this session was a small sided conditioned game, for the end of session game let the players play freely. Again corner kicks and throw ins should be enforced.
