First Time Shooting

by David Baird

A session for first time shooting, the weight of the pass must be stressed when assisting the shot and the technique for striking the ball cleanly with power and accuracy:

• Put your laces through the ball
• Knee over the ball
• Strike just below the center of the ball
• Head down, shoulders slightly back
• Standing foot - have your toe in line with the back of the ball
• Swing from the hips
• Opposite arm to foot comes up as you strike for balance

I used this session with a good U10 team to encourage pulling the other team down and combining to get forward once we had done so.
