Set-up

Two teams take turns. Player runs from halfway, receives a laid-off ball from a feeder at the edge of the box, and shoots. GKs rotate in goal after every five shots. Points for goals. Loud, competitive, good for team atmosphere on day one.

Coaching points

  • Quality of the first touch sets up the shot — don't rush it
  • Pick a corner before you shoot, commit to it
  • GKs — set your feet, don't just guess

Progressions

  • Add a defender chasing from a cone 5 yards behind the attacker
  • Require players to take the shot with their weaker foot
