Players in pairs standing 20 yards apart, one ball per pair. Players practice striking the ball with their laces to each other with the focus on technique and direction rather than power. Maximise repetitions of correct technique.

CPs:

- Head up to identify target, head down at point of contact

- Plant foot pointing to target

- Head and knee over the ball

- Toes down, ankle locked

- Strike with laces through centre of ball

- Follow through in direction of target

30 x 30 area, two goals in centre. Shooting player takes a touch to get the ball out of their feet and then strikes at goal, again focussing on technique and direction rather than power, keeper gets up and turns around to face shot from other side. Keep the focus away fom power until the players look comfortable with the technique.

Reinforce all previous coaching points.
