Description: Striker Session 1 (Individual)

This session is focused on first touch in the beginning, quick and controlled dribbling and then shooting at the end. Everything a striker needs to improve in front of goal.

This exercise helps you learn how to control the ball when the ball is coming down from above your head. It’s okay if you can only do it once or twice. The way you improve is practicing this over and over again. Take a couple juggles, then hit the ball above your head and try to bring the ball down and continue juggling.

High Juggling

This exercise is a basic requirement to play soccer at a higher level. You have to master this technique. Once you do, the game becomes so much easier. Some tips: 
1. Make sure your head and chest are leaning over the ball. Make sure you aren’t leaning back too much.
2. Hit through the center of the ball. Do not hit the bottom or top of the ball.
3. Make sure you start slow and then start to give the passes some pace once you are comfortable.
4. Always be ready and stay on your toes.

One Touch Wall Passing

This exercise makes sure you have a good first touch and a good pass to the wall. Make sure the ball doesn’t get too far away from you. Cushion the ball so it stays close to your feet.

Two Touch. Only Right & Only Left.

This exercise is working on alternating between your feet as fast as you can. Touch with one foot and pass with the other. Always using the insides of your feet.

Two Touch Alternating Insides

This exercise makes sure you get comfortable with different surfaces of your feet such as the outsides of your feet. The goal here is to hit the ball more on the laces part of your outside foot.

Insides and Outsides One Touch

This exercise requires only a ball. I will show you examples of 5 different exercises that you can do to improve your close control with the ball. Start slow to get comfortable and then get faster to really improve footwork.

5 Dribbling Drills No Equipment

This drill should be done at different areas around the box. So, you should do about 10-15 reps and then move the cones to a different location around the box. Make sure to use both feet to get comfortable shooting from anywhere with either foot.
