Kick to a touchline mark
This drill trains you to kick for a spot rather than for distance, which is what actually wins ground.
The drill
- Put a cone on a line 25 meters away as your landing mark.
- Take two steps, drop the ball straight, and strike through it.
- Watch where it lands. Do not judge the kick by how far it went.
- Collect and reset. Ten kicks, count how many land inside 5 meters of the cone.
Space
40m of grass with a straight line, one ball, one cone.
Make it harder / make it easier
Harder. Move the mark to 35 meters, or make the target a 5 meter box.
Easier. Bring the mark to 15 meters and kick for accuracy only.
How to film it
