Instructions/Setup:
In this small-sided game, teams play 4v4 centrally, with a specific focus on shooting from distance. To score, players must shoot from behind the dotted line, which creates a challenge to strike from outside the box. This setup encourages players to practice taking shots from range and finding opportunities to score from deeper positions.
The depth of the dotted line can be adjusted depending on the players' age or ability, providing flexibility in terms of the shooting difficulty. This allows for better development of shooting techniques and decision-making under pressure.
Coaching Notes:
• Shooting Technique: Encourage players to focus on their shooting technique, specifically when shooting from distance. Players should be mindful of their foot placement and strike the ball cleanly with accuracy, not just power.
• Positioning for Shots: Players should be aware of their positioning in relation to the dotted line, ensuring they have the opportunity to receive the ball in a good shooting position. They should also be aware of defenders trying to close down shooting lanes.
• Shot Selection: Encourage players to assess the situation before shooting, considering factors like the goalkeeper's position, defensive pressure, and the angle of the shot. Players should not rush but rather choose their shots wisely.
• Defensive Pressure: Defenders should focus on closing down players attempting shots from distance. This requires good positioning and timing to block or deflect shots, forcing attackers to take less favorable attempts.
Progression 1: Vary Shooting Distance:
Adjust the position of the dotted line to make the shooting distance shorter or longer, depending on the skill level of the players.
Focus: Helps players develop the ability to shoot from varying distances and under different levels of pressure.
