Shooting Drill 1

Groups: 1 with 2 players on cones and a goalkeeper
Sliotars: at least 2 per player
Cones: 3
Skills: Striking, Shooting, Goalkeeper
Level of Effort: 2.5/5
Level of Complexity: 2/5

Set-up:

Place cones about 65m, 55m and 30m from the goal. Put a goalkeeper in position and one player at the cones at 30m and 55m. The rest of the players line up at the cone 65m from the goal.

Each player on the 65 has a sliotar and the player 30m from the goal has at least a ball for each player. A net in the goals and a net behind the goals are also needed.

Description:

Player 3 strikes a pass to Player 1 who controls or catches it and gives a return pass to the on running player 3. Player 3 takes a handpass and strikes the ball over the bar before the 45m line.

Player 3 continues on and takes a pass from player 2 and shoots for goal from outside the 20m line.

He then goes behind the goal and collects two sliotars. He returns out to take his place at the end of the line dropping one of the balls for player 2 on the way out.

Continue for three or four minutes. Reset the drill changing the players at the two cones and the goalkeeper if necessary.

Variations:

A) The drill can be set up at different sides of the goals to change the angle of shooting and to get people to shoot off the left and right sides. This can also be changed by how the players on the cones pass the ball to the moving players.
