Scoring a goal is one of the best feelings in football. Scoring consistently demands precision, power, and technique. Here at Progoal, we are committed to enhancing football training sessions and on field performance. We have put together some training drills and exercises designed to improve shooting accuracy and help players score more goals.
1. Target Practice with Progoal's Precision Targets
Progoal's precision targets are an invaluable tool for honing accuracy in shooting. Set up the targets by attaching them to the frame of your Progoal Garden football goal to create focal points for your shots. Begin by aiming for the targets with one type of shot such as a curled finish with your right foot. Once you have become more comfortable with this shot, practice aiming for the target discs by shooting with your other foot.
This drill not only improves accuracy but also assists in developing the muscle memory required to consistently hit specific areas of the football goal. Muscle memory requires a lot of repetition, so it is important to dedicate a valuable amount of time to perfecting each shot on both feet to see successful results.
2. Dynamic Shooting Circuit using Progoal's Agility Poles:
Progoal's agility poles serve as versatile equipment for a dynamic shooting circuit that mimics game-like scenarios. Set up the agility poles in a zigzag pattern leading towards your football goal. Start at a moderate distance away from the goal and dribble the ball through the poles, maintaining close control.
Upon reaching the final pole, take your shot on goal. The objective is to manoeuvre through the poles swiftly while maintaining ball control and finishing with a precise shot. This drill not only enhances shooting accuracy but also improves agility, dribbling, and shooting under pressure, replicating the challenges faced during real matches.
This could be paired with the shooting target drill to practice top corner shots while dribbling in game like scenarios.
3. One-Touch Finishing with Progoal's Rebounder:
The one-touch finishing drill utilising Progoal's rebounder is an excellent exercise to develop quick reflexes and instinctive finishing around the football goal. Position the rebounder near the goal and have a teammate or coach serve balls towards you. Control the ball and aim to shoot with precision using just one touch, utilising the rebounder to simulate game-like scenarios where quick decisions and accurate finishing are crucial.
Focus on proper positioning, swift decision-making, and finishing with precision into the football goal. This drill not only improves shooting accuracy but also trains players to anticipate and react swiftly to scoring opportunities inside the box.
Incorporating these three dynamic drills into training routines using Progoal's specialised equipment can significantly improve your shooting. Consistent practice, attention to detail on technique, and the utilisation of Progoal's training tools will help elevate your goalscoring ability.
