Directional Touch and Shoot

Play the ball into the rebounder and take the first touch directly through the cone gate in one fluid motion without stopping the ball, setting up a shot within a few steps. Coach prescribes 10 repetitions on the right foot and 10 on the left foot.

Key points

  • Take the directional touch in one fluid motion straight through the gate
  • Weight the touch so the ball stays in the optimal shooting pocket
  • Strike cleanly on target within one to two strides

Common mistakes

Touching the ball too far ahead, allowing a goalkeeper or defender to smother it.
