How it works

Dribble from midfield at speed and shoot into a full-size or marked goal, simulating a breakaway finish.

What you need

soccer ball
cones

Your focus

Shooting after a run trains the exact movement pattern of a breakaway or counter-attack. Players must control their body, set their touch, and shoot in one fluid motion.

Place a ball 20 yards from goal (or two cones marking a 6-yard-wide goal).

Player starts 5 yards behind the ball.

Run to the ball, take 2 dribble touches to close the gap, then shoot.

Aim for corners. Do 5 shots left corner, 5 shots right corner.

Score: 2 pts for goal, 1 pt for on target, 0 for off target.

Goal

You've got it when 7 of 10 shots are on target and you're scoring 4+ goals.

Helpful cues

Approach at an angle, don't run straight at goal
Last touch sets up the shot, don't reach for it
Strike through the ball, not at it
