Unit Summary
This unit provides pupils with the knowledge and opportunity to replicate skills in isolation and in performance scenarios in association football. As a popular team sport offered by many pupils it will cover passing/ receiving, dribbling, shooting, ball control, tackling and decision making.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to shoot on target and respond with confidence to a ball being crossed from wide areas.
Key Notes
- Move: using the laces and keeping the head over the ball to ensure shots are on target to the bottom or top corners.
- Move: loft and curl passes across the 6 yard box give time for attackers to peform a header or volley.
- Think: shots are best when on target at one of the four corners to force the goalkeeper to dive.
- Feel: when in range, have confidence to take a shot rather than hesitate or always look to offload the ball.
- Connect: playing with the same individuals regularly results in an increased awareness of what they are likely to do.
Vocabulary To Learn
- cross: lofting the ball in from the wings for a teammate to shoot from
- shot on target: shot that enters the goal or would have if it wasn't blocked
- half-volley: kicking a ball immediately after it hits the ground
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Position of the non striking foot changes depending on where the shot is being aimed in the goal.

lofting the ball in from the wings for a teammate to shoot from.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Position of the non striking foot changes depending on where the shot is being aimed in the goal. Correction: This is a common myth, however the positioning of the non striking foot remains consistent and needs to be at the side of the ball for optimal balance and accuracy so the shot is precise and on target.
