Objective:

• To develop accurate passing and shooting with both feet.
• To gain a simple understanding of corner kicks.

Organization:

• Place balls in one corner of playing area.
• Coach rolls ball by foot or by hand towrdsthe back foot (left foot in the graphic).
• Coach shouts "Go!" and player at first cone must go around second cone.
• Shooting player goes behind goal to retrieve the shot, and then returns to end of line.
• No goalkeeper, so players are encouraged to kick accurately to succeed.
• With co- or assistant coach work with two groups at opposite ends.
• Change players and cones to opposite side.
• Progression (this is more difficult, so let them master the simpler practice first): players take corner kick themselves; employ a simple rotation of players.

Teaching:

• As players become better, narrow the goal or deliver quicker passes.
• Point out that most shots in illustration will be taken with the left foot (most will be predominantly right-footed). Bias the service to encourage left (or right footed) shots.
• Total concentration: head down, eyes on the ball.
• Encourage accuracy rather than power shooting.
• Use inside of foot - like a hockey stick.
• Encourage players to strive to become "two-footed."

Target:

• To record the number of the team's scoring attempts that succeed in 20 shots, and keep score at each practice as an incentive to improve. If two groups add the scores together.
