Can your players hit the target? I don’t know whether my U9s can because they won’t try. They had 16 corners at the weekend and not one shot from those corners. It was so frustrating, they passed and passed and passed, right in front of goal, it was almost as if they were too shy to shoot. Of course I love a good passing move, but from a corner I want them to be more direct – I want them to shoot!
So at my training session tonight I will give them target shooting practice.
The way to do it is to put some balls just outside the penalty area and get your players to shoot at goal from there.
Watch this clip of Wayne Rooney practicing shooting from outside the area and get your players doing the same thing.
