Long-Range Shooting SSG | Better Decisions, Better Finishing

Overview

• Built for U13 and up
• A competitive 4v4 where both teams battle for the ball
• Zeroed in on shooting from distance
• Demands cool, clear decisions under defensive pressure

Objectives

• Sharpen finishing accuracy from long range
• Grow the decision-making to read the situation before you shoot
• Develop a feel for distance and smart positioning around the goal
• Build the ability to read it quick and pull the trigger under pressure

Setup

On a 40m×60m field, two teams of four fight for the ball. Goals only count when the shot is taken from outside the dotted line beyond the penalty area.

１）Set up a 40m×60m field and mark a dotted line (the shooting line) in front of goal

２）Split into 4v4 and kick off

３）Only shots taken from outside the dotted line count

４）Shooting technique and how you set up the ball are up to the player, but the shot has to be on frame

５）Run sets of around 15 minutes and stack several of them

６）After each set, talk it over as a team: where players made good shooting decisions, and where they could have done one thing better
