Soccer - Shooting Gallery Drill

Purpose:

Helps develop instep shooting technique, practice attacking and defending with small groups.

 

 

Procedure:

Two teams of four players. Evenly distribute 12 cones in a 10 X 10 circle. Goals are scored by knocking down cones, players are not allowed into the circle but must shoot from outside of the circle. Start off with two balls (one for each team). Each team can score points by knocking down a cone. Balls that stop in the circle are dead and cannot be retrieved. If a ball goes completely through the circle it can be played by the team retrieving it. The player that doesn't have a ball can either defend or try to get open for a chance to shoot at a cone.
