Goal scoring tactics
in Attacking, Small Sided Games
This tactical game is great for getting players thinking about who should be the attacker and how to make the most of points given to players MORE
Soccer is an unpredictable game and the complete striker needs to have the tools to be able to react to all situations. This session gives your players the chance to attempt a range of finishing techniques in a short and intense period of time.

First time shot from a lay back then immediately attack a through ball.
Now introduce a defender into the session. Make him start just behind the striker. His job is not necessarily to make the tackle – just get him to put enough pressure on the striker so that he must play at match-speed and so that he isn’t able to take his time on the ball.
Only introduce the defender when your strikers have had several turns on the circuit and are already comfortable with the exercise.
Now turn and shoot, then turn again and attack an aerial ball.
Play a small-sided game with two goals and goalkeepers. Encourage your players to attack at speed and tell them you will award extra points for goals scored from first-time shots.
It’s not so easy with a defender on your back. Can you make it 4 out of 4?
