Setup:
1 Place a goalkeeper in the goal.
2 Set a winger player on either side of the field.
3 Place a target player near the top of the penalty area.
4 About 35 yards out, line-up 5-6 cones about 1 yard apart.
5 The remaining players should form a line (with soccer balls) behind the line of cones.
Instructions:
1 The first player in the line passes a ball outside to the winger player and quickly weaves in and out of the cones or training sticks.
2 At the same time, the winger player plays a ball to the target player who lays the ball off to the first player as they come out of the cones.
3 The first player should attempt a first-time shot on goal, if possible.
4 As the shooter finishes their shot, they move to the right or left winger position to receive a pass from the next player in line.
5 The former winger player becomes the target and the previous target player shags the ball from the last shooter and gets in line.
Variations:
¥ Modify the agility performed by the first player: ex. Backward slalom, sideways slalom.
¥ Have winger and target players make check runs before receiving the pass.
Coaching Points:
¥ The timing of the passes along with speed through the cones is of most importance.
¥ Passes must be precise with proper weight and timing.
¥ The ball must be properly laid off for a first time shot.
¥ Shooter strikes the ball accurately on a one-touch shot.
