Solving Tactical Problems Through Games

TACTICAL PROBLEMS: Scoring a goal in soccer.

Shooting Game

To teach shooting skills, split the class into groups of three: a shooter in the front, a shooter in the back and a goalie in the middle. Each shooter should be separated from the goalie by 10 to 15 feet. Use two cones and place them to the sides of the goalie to make a goal. Give each group one ball. The front shooter tries to score on the goalie, and then the goalie turns around as the back shooter tries to score after retrieving the ball. If the goalie makes a save, he should give the ball to the back shooter. Switch positions after a set amount of time.
 
 
 
Line Scoring:

With a small group, have 6 soccer balls lined up a reasonable way away from the net. Then one by one, every person kicks all six balls into the net one after another. As well, there will be flags in the corners of the net and it they are hit, 20 points will be gained. The whole line will go through and get their turn while trying to work on hitting the flags in the corner of the net. This works on individual scoring in soccer in a form of a game.
