Lesson 9:
Striking a Moving Ball with Defender
view description
- Objective
  
  To get to the ball ahead of the defender and to take a shot low and on target.
  
  Coaching Points
  
  Stress the angle and speed of approach the to the ball, while curving the run to reach the ball ahead of the defender. Strike with the foot nearest to the ball with non-kicking foot planted beside the ball. Take and early strike.
  
  Problems to Watch Out For
  
  Players will hesitate during the run, allowing the defender to reach the ball first. Players will strike the ball with the foot closest to the defender.
  
  Why This Works
  
  The addition of the defender makes the drill more game-realistic.
