Targeted Goal KickNext exercise

Distance isn’t that important when it comes to goal kicks – accuracy is what counts. That’s exactly what we’re going to practise in this drill. The animation clearly shows what we’re trying to achieve.

Description

Mark out four target sections of field. Before the kick, the coach calls out the number of the target section to the goalkeeper. The kick lands exactly in the section indicated by the coach.
