This week, Greg Vanney from CATZCoach - AYSO's preferred online coach training source - goes over a simple shooting exercise that's great for getting your players accustomed to taking shots on goal.

During a practice that's focused on offense and shooting technique, consider trying this activity. In the first part of the exercise, players will learn how to assist shooters and remain part of the play after a shot is taken.

The second portion of the activity is great for getting players comfortable with one-touch shooting. Perfect for U-12 and up.
