Soccer Shooting Drill - Instep Shooting

Objective

  • Shooting accuracy
  • Proper shooting form
  • Shooting competition

Organization
Set up two 25 X 25 grids. Put 4 water bottles in the middle. Split the girls into two teams. Each team gets a grid. The girls should line up on all sides of the grid. Give each team 2-3 balls.


Procedure
On start, the girls should aim to knock over the water bottles by shooting with their laces.

Coaching Points

  • Strike the ball with the shoelaces, toe pointed down, ankle locked
  • Non-kicking (plant) foot should be next to the ball and slightly behind it and pointed towards the target.
  • Players should try to land on their kicking foot to use the full transfer of body weight.

I have tried this drill with my U11 boys team and it has worked wonders in terms of developing accuracy. Plus, the boys love knocking over the water bottles!
