Zigzag Shooting<br />
Purpose<br />
To develop close control in front <strong>of</strong> goal<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 20-by-30-yard area with a goal (5 yards wide) and goalkeeper on one endline. Place a series <strong>of</strong> diagonal<br />
discs on the far side <strong>of</strong> the area, and a disc on each side <strong>of</strong> the area, 5 yards in from the sideline and 15 yards from<br />
the goal line. Position 2 attackers at the entrance to the diagonal discs, each with a ball, and a retrieving player behind<br />
the goal. Repeat in two other areas for a total <strong>of</strong> 12 players.<br />
Game Objective<br />
The first player dribbles through the diagonal discs and around the sideline disc before shooting on goal. The goalkeeper<br />
attempts to save the ball. The retrieving player collects the ball if a goal is scored or the shot is wide <strong>of</strong> the<br />
goal. The second player dribbles through the diagonal discs and around the sideline disc before shooting on goal.<br />
Repeat and then rotate positions.<br />
Progressions<br />
1. Use the weaker foot when dribbling and shooting.<br />
2. Add a defender to the middle <strong>of</strong> the area.<br />
3. The second player chases the first player through the diagonal discs and around the sideline disc.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. Keep the ball within 2–3 feet between touches.<br />
2. Use the inside <strong>of</strong> both feet to change direction around the cones.<br />
3. Look up between touches.<br />
4. Focus on accuracy before power when shooting on goal.<br />
