Shooting drills for U9-U10

From twenty-five yards the target changes. On target and low forces a save and a rebound; chasing corners from there mostly finds the stand.

The first shooting drill a young player should do. Ball still, short angled approach, plant foot beside it, ankle locked, laces through the middle.

Most chances are missed by hitting them too hard. Set the ball, pick the corner, and pass it into the net with the inside of the foot.

Repetition is the point and also what breaks the technique. The skill being trained is resetting between shots, not the shots themselves.

Shooting under pressure is a race, and most players lose it by trying to win it properly. Early and on target beats late and perfect.

Curl beats power because the ball keeps moving after the keeper has committed. He dives where it was, not where it ends up.

Keep it low is the most given and least useful shooting instruction. Where the plant foot lands is what actually decides height.
