Coaching Soccer Drills: Shooting Tricks You Must Know
You’ve probably heard it a hundred times that in coaching soccer drills, all tactics, skills, and teamwork taught to the players ultimately lead to a shot on the goal. It requires both skill and character to produce quality shooting. But other than this, winning attitude is also equally important.
All the players must be involved in this but more importantly; it is up to the forward players to shoot the ball. When you are teaching soccer, give shooting top priority.
There are so many things that may be a consequence of shooting. Shots can be redirected into the goal. The goalkeeper might drop the ball exactly at the feet of your forward player. Directionless shots can become beautiful passes. Ground shots may return. You can even score a goal by a straight shot.
During the soccer practice, attacking players are always on a lookout to shoot the ball into the goal at every possible opportunity. They are accustomed to think only about scoring a goal when in the field. In England, these attacking players are known by the term sniffers. This is because they are always sniffing out scoring chances.
To them, every opportunity is the last one they will get and hence shoot ferociously. They are always present at the right time at the right place. They always make the most of every situation even if it is not favorable. So, in coaching soccer drills motivate the players to kick the ball whenever they can.
As a general rule, any kick that causes the ball to go towards the goal is considered as a shot. Yet, one technique that is most effective is driving the ball through the middle by use of the laces of the foot. Make sure that the player’s head is over the ball, his toe remains extended, and his upper body keeps steady.
In coaching drills, your players should learn to shoot the ball low and wide of the goalie. In such a scenario, high shots are less preferred that low ground shots. This happens due to the fact that goalies have to stop the low ground shots by stretching their hands a lot more in comparison to high shots, thus making it difficult.
While practicing with regulation sized goals, players get to score more by hitting the ball over and above the goalkeeper’s head. You must discourage your players to do this as it instills the habit of shooting high goals. When coaching soccer drills, put a stop to this activity by not permitting kids to play in adult sized goals.
So now go teach you kids to become master shooters when it comes to scoring goals by checking the goalie’s position once before they are ready to shoot.
