Shooting and Scoring Work hard

Two-Footed Finishing: set-up box

Ten balls round the edge of the box at different angles; alternate right foot and left foot, pick your corner and commit.

Set up

  • Place 10 balls around the edge of the box at a mix of angles.

Garden, park.

How to play

  • Strike for the corners, alternating right foot, left foot each time.
  • Pick your spot before you shoot, then commit to it.
  • Count your goals, and how many came from your practice foot.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Add a grown-up in goal (shots below the waist, from at least 8 big steps).

Three things to say

  • Same technique on both feet. Practising your practice foot now pays off in games.

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

Total scored out of 10 and practice-foot goals. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
