Active Shooting Drills

By Danny Carvalho

Question - “Can you share some small-sided games for shooting that include at least 12 players?  This way, I won't have players stood on the sideline”

Alright, here goes three top games that your players are going to love!

Activity 1
1st step: (A) starts from the yellow cone and goes unopposed to try and score in less than five seconds.
2nd step: the first player in line at the red cone (B) plays 1v1 against (A) to score.
3rd step: first player in line at the blue cone (C) join forces with (B) on a 2v1 against (A)

Rotate after every play.

Activity 2
Who doesn’t love a Small-sided game? On this one, they play GK+3 v 3+GK having two support players on the attacking half’s width. Must love it!

Activity 3
In a progression of Activity 2, the only change here is that the support players are now on depth, each on one side of opponent’s goal.

Activity 4
This one goes on and on in a very high tempo. In the diagram you can see the black player attacking and the yellow player running after him to defend. As soon as this play is over, the first yellow in line starts attacking and the black player who just attacked transitions to defend. Now as soon as this play is over, the first black in line starts attacking and the yellow player who just attacked transitions to defend. And so on.
