Ball Striking

Explanation:

The two teams play 4v4 on a small field. When a player scores a goal or when a coach wants to reward a player for effort, the player comes off to the side of the field to try and hit the crossbar to score a point. 

Coaching Points:

1.  If chipping the ball, keep the toe pointed up.

2.  If hitting the ball like a cross, turn the foot out, point the toe down, and slice under the ball.

3.  Approach the ball at a 45 degree angle to generate power.

Progressions:

1.  Move the goal further away from the shooter.
