Lesson 7:
Creating Room for a Strike on Goal
view description
- Objective
  
  To move the ball and use fakes to get the defender off balance and to create room for a shot on goal.
  
  Coaching Points
  
  To create room, drop one shoulder. To get the defender off balance, use a scissors move or other body fakes. To enable a quick shot, use a short 'back lift' on the shooting stride.
  
  Problems to Watch Out For
  
  Players turn their back on the goal, which prevents the possibility of getting a shot away. Players will wait an unrealistic amount of time before shooting.
  
  Why This Works
  
  Players learn they don't have to go past a defender to get a shot on goal.
  
  S = Striker
  
  D = Defender
  
  GK = Goalkeeper
