Objective

Develop shooting power and accuracy from outside the box.

Equipment

  • Balls
  • Goal
  • Cones

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a cone 18–22 yards from goal.

  2. 2

    Player dribbles to the cone, sets the ball, and strikes with their dominant foot.

  3. 3

    Aim for corners — pick a target before shooting.

  4. 4

    Retrieve the ball and repeat; alternate feet after 5 reps.

Coaching Points

  • Plant foot beside the ball, not behind it.
  • Lock the ankle and strike with the laces.
  • Follow through toward the target.

Variations

  • Add a goalkeeper.
  • Play a pass to the shooter so they must strike first-time.
