TORRES’
SHOOTING
Drill No.1

20 yds

A1

D1

20 yds

SET UP ACTION HOW IT HELPS

Mark out an area measuring 20 x 20
yards, including a 5 x 20-yard shooting
zone and a 15 x 20-yard dribbling zone.
Position two goals at one end, 12 yards
apart. Divide players into two groups:
defenders and attackers. Position the
attackers on the byline between the
goals, with the defenders lined up two
yards behind. The coach stands inside
the dribbling zone, in line with the
players, approximately 10 yards away.
A1 plays the ball into the feet of the
coach and follows his pass. D1
chases. The coach lays the
ball off to A1, who has to try
and beat D1 to get into
the shooting zone
and score in
either of the
goals.
When you receive the ball with your
back to goal, most defenders and
goalkeepers expect you to pass back
where the ball came from, but you can
nurture the ability to take the ball on
the turn and fire off a surprise shot on
goal. It’s a great weapon to have in EVEN MORE ONLINE
your arsenal, and you can work on it
using this exercise. Want to learn more from the pros?
