Developing and improving the shooting movement (TU 5)

This training unit focuses on acquiring and improving correct shooting movements. This means shooting while standing and shooting while running, without a jump however, in order to highlight arm and body movements. Following a warm-up exercise which already involves shots, the players practice the shoulder and arm rotation for shooting and subsequently combine these moves in a passing competition. In a short game, the players implement the shooting movements in a game situation. This is followed by the goalkeeper warm-up shooting and a closing series of shots which focuses on shooting at the goal. The training unit consists of the following key exercises: – Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 15 minutes/total time: 15 minutes) – Ball familiarization (10/25) – Ball familiarization (10/35) – Shooting competitions (15/50) – Short game (15/65) – Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/75) – Offense/Series of shots (15/90) Training unit total time: 90 min.
