Setup
Goal with goalkeeper. Feeder stands 5 yards to the side of the shooter with a supply of 6–8 balls. Shooter starts 12 yards from goal.
How to Run It
First ball
Feeder rolls the first ball across the shooter's path. Shooter strikes first time.
Immediate second ball
As soon as the first shot is taken, feeder immediately serves the next ball — different angle, different height.
Six-ball sequence
Feeder serves 6 balls in rapid succession. Shooter must react and shoot each one.
Score and rotate
Count goals from 6 shots. Rotate shooter after each sequence.
Coaching Cues
Reset your feet quickly between shots — don't admire the previous one
Trust your instincts — no time to overthink
Keep your eye on the ball, not the goal
Stay on your toes — flat-footed players are always a step slow
Variations
- Vary service height — ground, knee, chest
- Feeder calls "left" or "right" to indicate which foot to use
- Compete: most goals from 6 balls wins
