Step-Back Shooting
Five balls in a line, each one further from goal. Run onto each and strike it at pace.
Five balls, each 3 m further from goal than the last; start at the closest and work back, running onto each one.
Set up
- Line up 5 balls, each one 3 metres further from goal than the last.
Garden, park.
How to play
- Start at the closest ball and work your way back.
- Run onto each ball and strike it at pace. Quick, don't stop and think.
- Note how far out you get while still hitting the target.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Alternate feet down the line.
Three things to say
- Lock your ankle, strike through the middle of the ball, follow through at goal.
Colts habit
Work hard: little and often beats one long go.
Both feet
Do a round with the practice foot only.
Heads up
Look up between touches.
Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.
My best
Furthest distance reached and best score out of 5. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
