Objectives:
This
is a progression from the "One Touch Shooting

It is a great finishing exercise which players

there are many components you can emphasize

defending, man for man marking, quality passing
techniques, small group possession and much
more.

Pointers:
This
is a progression from the "One Touch Shooting
Drill". Divide your players into three even
teams of 4, 5 or 6 players. Identify team by
using different colored bibs. Position a
goalkeeper in each goal. Organize your playing
area as shown in the diagram above. Two teams
play while one team rests. The object of the
game is to score a goal using "one touch". The
play is free play but a goal must be struck
"first time". If the goalkeeper makes a save
they must thrown the ball out to the opposite
team. When a goal is scored, the winner stays on
and the losing team swaps with the resting team.
First team to get three straight victories wins!
