Exercise #289: Figure 8 Shooting on Goal

OBJECTIVE:	This exercise gives your keeper ample opportunity to make saves while also allowing your field players to practice taking both left- and right-footed shots.
DESCRIPTION:	Place two cones a couple of yards apart at about the penalty mark. Have two players stand just outside the goal posts, each with several balls, and have one player start by standing between the two cones. He should run around one cone (first toward the goal and then around behind the cone) and look to the player on the opposite post for a service. The server should pass a ball along the ground toward the center of the cones for the shooter to run onto and shoot on goal. Immediately after the shot, the shooter should run around the opposite cone, and look to the other player for another service. Note that the finishing player should shoot with the opposite foot each time.
