Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Hit the back of the net consistently without the ball touching the ground between the final juggle and the shot.
Setup
Stand approximately 12–15 yards away from the goal with a ball at your feet.
Drill Instructions
1. Flick the ball up and begin juggling it using your feet and thighs. 2. After 3 to 5 controlled touches, kick the ball slightly higher than head height. 3. As the ball drops, keep your eyes on it and strike a controlled volley into the goal using your laces.
Coach Tip
Keep your toe pointed down and lock your ankle through the entire strike.
Avoid
Leaning too far back, which causes the ball to fly over the crossbar.
Adjust on the fly
Make it easier
Allow the ball to bounce once after the final juggle before striking the volley.
Make it harder
Incorporate a weak-foot strike or aim for the top corners of the goal.
