AROUND THE WORLD
The keeper stands in the goal. Cones are placed at each corner of the Penalty Area and one on the top center of the 18. Players are positioned one each at the 5 cones each having several balls except for the center player.
These players are each given a number. (i.e., 1 through 4.) When the coach calls a number the player on the corner with the number called passes the ball to the player in the middle who then shoots the ball. After shooting the ball, the center player must run back around the middle cone to receive the next pass and shoot again.
The keeper must come from the goal line each time the shooter receives the ball to try and stop the shot. Once the shot is taken the keeper must go back and touch the goal line to reset for attack and again come out of goal to try and stop the next shot.
Continue drill until all balls have been shot. I would suggest after all balls have been shot to change the keeper as this can be a very physical drill.
This drill idea was contributed by a coach from Montgomery soccer who wished to remain anonymous.
