Turn and Choose the Right Goal
CoachTruly
© CoachTruly.com- Description
In this drill, a small goal is placed in each corner of the area, each marked with a different number or color.
One player is in the middle and two are on the outside.
One of the outside players starts the drill by passing the ball to the player in the middle while simultaneously calling out the number or color of a goal.
The central player's task is to turn with the ball towards that goal and finish the ball into the back of the net.
After that, the pass comes from the other outside player and the same pattern repeats.
The passes don't always have to come directly to feet — passes can be played slightly to the side so that the central player also has to move around in the middle.
- Coaching key points
- Quick perception of direction and reaction. First touch and turn with the ball. Finishing from different angles.
- Key questions
- What do you do as soon as you hear the number or color of the goal? Do you already know before receiving the ball which way you intend to turn? What position was your body in at the moment of receiving the ball?
