FIRST SHOT

I have two lines of players one on the outside of each post of one goal. I have a goalie in goal. I place two cones out at the 18 yard mark even with the goal posts. On my mark I have one player from each lines sprint out to the cones, I then roll a ball out toward the goal in the center of the cones, the first player to reach the ball is on offence and tries to score, the second player is on defence and tries to get the ball away and stop the shot. The goalie gets practise dealing with break-aways. If I want one player or another to get the ball first, I control where I roll the ball (closer to one player or the other).
This drill develops more aggression in the players as they race for the ball. You can also match up players to run against each other.
