Soccer Practice - Pass And Shoot

Teaching soccer pass can be easy and today I'll share with you an effective soccer practice drill to improve passing and shooting skills.

• Pass & Shoot Soccer Drill

As the name suggests, the players have to make certain number of passes before they shoot the ball and score.

1. Go for this soccer drill in a 30 yd x 30 yd grid with two opposing goalpost as in the actual game.

2. There will be two teams: each team will make at least five passes before they attempt shooting.

3. They have to save the ball from stealing by the opponent team.

4. If one team loses possession after less than five passes, they will have to again try to repossess the ball, make four passes, and then shoot the ball, attempting to score a goal. The team that does this successfully gets a point.

5. At the end of this training session, the team with more points wins.

Come up with your own variations of this drill and new soccer drills and soccer moves. For example, in the “cones instead of goal” drill, the coach will place five cones instead of goalpost and the players are then instructed to shoot at these cones. The team that knocks down three or more cones wins. You do not need goalkeepers for this soccer practice.

Soccer Ball Skills - Shooting

• How To Teach Accurate Shooting

When it comes to soccer ball skills, the team that knows how to shoot on target accurately... usually wins. Teaching the players to shoot the ball with accuracy is very important. One simple way to improve this technique is to give your players a margin of error between two cones.

STEP 1: Start with as much as four-meter distance between the cones.

STEP 2: You should slowly reduce this distance until it is zero and there is no cone.

This is a very effective way to enhance your players’ focus to the shooting of the ball.

• How To Teach The Free-Kicks

One important thing your players must know is how to make long free kicks. In this soccer training session, you have to have the players of your team practicing the free kicks. Make sure that you instruct the players to keep their non-kicking foot alongside the ball and pointing in the direction you want the ball to go. Give soccer instructions to the players to slightly lean back and swing their kicking foot back and forth.

As a soccer trainer, make sure that you use the above soccer techniques extensively in your various training sessions. After a few sessions, you will certainly find improvement in your team’s game. These are some effective ways to enhance numerous soccer ball skills to the young players.
