Objective

Build confidence and technique shooting with the non-dominant foot.

Equipment

  • Balls
  • Goal
  • Cones

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a cone 12 yards from goal.

  2. 2

    Dribble to the cone and shoot exclusively with your weaker foot.

  3. 3

    Take 10 shots then move the cone to different angles.

  4. 4

    Focus on technique over power — accuracy first.

Coaching Points

  • Plant foot pointed at the target, not away from it.
  • Lock the ankle on the weaker foot — a floppy ankle kills accuracy.
  • Start with the inside of the weak foot before progressing to laces.

Variations

  • Add a goalkeeper for pressure.
  • Receive a pass and shoot first-time with the weak foot.
