Creating Room for a Strike on a Goal
You can’t take a shot if you have not created enough space between you and the defender. In this soccer drill, players learn how to use fakes and body positioning to achieve proper spacing.
This video is one of over twenty great soccer striker drills in our training series, How to Play Striker.
This looks really great and something coaches can easily use for drills with the younger kids. Your video segments were perfect… quick and to the point.
