Shooting Variations
Set Up:
Variation #1: Player 1 passes long to Player 2, who settles and passes up to Player 3. Player 3 lays the ball off for Player 2 to finish.
Variation #2: Player 1 passes long to Player 3, who settles and dribbles up the line. When Player 2 shows between the two defenders, Player 3 switches it over for Player 2 to finish.
Variation #3: Player 1 passes up to Player 2, who passes back to Player 3. Player 3 touches it over the top for Player 2 to finish. During the drill, the players rotate from 1 to 3 to 2 to 1.
Coaching Points:
1. Long Passes – Drive the ball with back spin to make it an easier ball to receive.
2. Timing the Runs – Watch the play develop and hold your run if necessary.
3. Finishing – Your last dribble touch should allow you to shoot at all four corners.
Progressions:
Add more combinations - Vertical or horizontal takeover, double pass, etc.
