Soccer drills for technique attack / offense

Organization:

The game is played 2 against 1. If there are 2 players left they play 1:1 on a smaller field.
The pair tries to score on the 2 little goals.
After about 8 minutes the players are changed.
If the 2 team has it too easy, you can move the 2 goals closer together.

Remarks:

Because of the many 1:1 duels you can soon see if they are doing well or not so well. Don't
give them instructions
in the first
game. Give them the chance to improve themselves.

Points of attention:

Prevent the opponent from shooting at goal.
Position yourself in such a way that it is difficult for your opponent to pass to his/her team-mate

This can be done in 4 v 4 or 3 v 3 or even 2 v 2 formation. Players must always pass 1 player before the ball is passed to the teammate.

Rules/tips:

• If there is scored or shot over the line the ball must be given to the other team.

Organization:

Divide the team into 2 groups. Preferably have both groups finish with the same exercise on 2 goals.

Exercise A:

Pass the ball, lay it wide, play into the corner, cross to the striker and finish.

Exercise B:

Pass the ball, lay it wide, play into the corner and cross to the midfielder. After a combination with the striker the midfielder finishes.

If everything goes well you can ask them to score with a volley at the end.

Notes:

Scoring in this exercise is most important. It is allowed to play through the air, as long as this is done accurately

Organisation:

In exercise A the team is divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.

A cross is hit from the back line. The incoming attackers cross each other. The player who shot at the goal collects the ball and goes behind. The player who hit the cross becomes the attacker.

In exercise B, the ball is shot on goal after a handball and 1-2 combination. You can do this yourself,

After the exercise has gone well, you can act as defender here.

The players move on.

Points of attention:

Movement towards the ball.

Playing clean and hard.

Organization:

2 attackers against 1 defender + a goalkeeper.
The attacking team can score from outside the 10 meter zone by shooting directly after the handball
. If they enter the 10-meter zone, they can choose how to score.
After a chance, missed or hit, or when the ball goes out to the sides, the ball is exchanged.
The defender can score on the 2 small goals.

Points of attention:

Move to the side to make room for your team-mate.

Organization:

Divide the team into two groups. Everyone has a ball. Each group near a goal with a goalkeeper. There are different ways to finish on goal.

Exercise A is with a handball. The players have to set the ball up with the outside of their foot so that they can shoot at the goal in one fluent movement.

In exercise B the ball is played to them from the side. They receive the ball with their left and shoot with their right. If the pass from the trainer comes from the left, they take the ball with the right and shoot with the left.

In exercise C they come up to the trainer and cut the ball with the inside or the outside of the foot. After the cutting movement they must try to shoot directly.

Points of attention:

Look at their standing leg at the moment they shoot.
Do they estimate the ball speed correctly?
