• Area marked out with cones
• Full sized goal
• Good supply of balls

Players are numbered and line up along the touch line, with balls. Three cones are numbered and placed around the penalty area D. Coach calls 2 numbers and a cone. First numbered player must sprint round named cone and back into the penalty area for a shot. Second numbered player must time the pass so the first player can run onto it and shoot first time. Second player immediately sprints to a different cone called by coach. Third player nominated by coach passes the ball for second player. Repeat.

It is important that the coach control the tempo of this drill. Ensure that the players get out of the way quickly after they have had a shot

• Quick sprinting to the cone and checking off cone
• Accurate timed pass from base line
• Head up to assess goalkeepers position
• Choice of correct shooting technique
• Accuracy of shot - hit target
• Keep head down and still
• Strike through the middle to top half of the ball
• Rebounds

Important that the coach controls this drill. For older players, allow the players to pass and follow as suggested in the structure. For younger players the coach might take control of the passing

• Vary the distance of the cones they run round
• Vary the type of service, some slow for first time shooting, some faster to develop control and shooting, bounce some balls in for different shooting techniques, throw some to test different control surfaces
