Developing and improving the shooting movement (TU 5). Jörg Madinger

This training unit focuses on acquiring and improving correct shooting movements. This means shooting while standing and shooting while running, without a jump however, in order to highlight arm and body movements. Following a warm-up exercise which already involves shots, the players practice the shoulder and arm rotation for shooting and subsequently combine these moves in a passing competition. In a short game, the players implement the shooting movements in a game situation. This is followed by the goalkeeper warm-up shooting and a closing series of shots which focuses on shooting at the goal.
The training unit consists of the following key exercises: – Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 15 minutes/total time: 15 minutes) – Ball familiarization (10/25) – Ball familiarization (10/35) – Shooting competitions (15/50) – Short game (15/65) – Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/75) – Offense/Series of shots (15/90) Training unit total time: 90 min.
