Rapid Fire

Drills Print Activity Link

Aim/Focus:

  • To improve shooting quickly on sight.

How to Play:

  • This exercise involves 6 players & 5 footballs
  • Within the exercise one player is doing all the shooting & five players are laying the ball off to them.
  • The player without the ball starts the exercise. Once they move across the line in front of the first player, that player pops the ball out to them with a hand pass.
  • The attacker without thinking tries to score a point. They then move along the line at pace receiving & shooting each ball at speed.
  • The idea behind the exercise is for the shooter to try & get five rapid shots off without having to wait in line for a shot every minute or so.
  • It helps them to spot & fix their errors or to repeat their successes in an instant which is more match realistic
