Ball control challenge to get players shooting from own half

Ball control drill to get players using one-touch and shooting skills

age group: All ages

Set up

Mark out a short, wide pitch with big (10-yard wide) goals at either end and a halfway line. Divide the players into two teams of 3 or 4. Each team defends a goal

Action

The game starts with each team spread out in their half of the pitch.

The coach stands on the centre line and rolls a football to one of the teams.

Their objective is to score a goal by shooting from within their own half.

Rules

  • No goalies.
  • Players must stay in their own half of the pitch at all times. Each player on the team must touch the ball at least once before a shot can be taken.
  • The ball must not be allowed to stop - if it does, possession is passed to the other team.
