Exercise 3: The Serve & Shot

[hr]How?

Switch serving and shooting roles every 10x reps. Each player completes serving twice and shooting twice.
Instead of a goalkeeper, place two cones, one metre inside of each goalpost.
Tip: Make sure the ball to the finisher goes in at a fast enough pace so it’s difficult to control and release your shot within 2 seconds.
Tip #2: You can also reduce the size of shooting zone, testing the attacker’s ability to kill the ball dead in a tight space.
