Support and Shoot
Support and Shoot
Set Up:
There are 9-12 players set up on the long field, with players starting at the cones. Player 1 begins the drill with a run from the end line. Player 2 touches the ball to Player 1, who passes it up to Player 3 and makes a supporting run. Player 3 passes the ball up to Player 4 as Player 1 runs thru to support him. Player 4 lays the ball off for Player 1 to finish. Upon completion, Player 1 goes to Player 6’s line, and the drill runs in the opposite direction. New players rotate in for Players 3 and 4 every two to three minutes.
Coaching Points:
1. The shot does not need to be overpowered. Just make solid contact.
2. Slow down the approach so that you can adjust to the layoff pass.
3. Make a curved run to the ball in order to create a better shooting angle.
Progressions:
1. Run two groups at the same time.
