teams are inside the square. Identify each team
using colored bibs. The object is to score a
goal with a header or volley. The drill starts
with one player serving
the ball to his team from the side cone. The
ball must be thrown in with pace. His team must
crash the goal and try to score with a header or
volley. After the attack the ball is turned over
the opposite team to serve.
Team can serve from any side. This is a fun
activity using a lot of players. If Goalkeeper
catches to ball he
can throw is at the opposite goal to try and
score.

the ball aggressively. Quality
heading and volleying technique. Challenging
for the ball.
