Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Coach or server throws the ball to a striker who volleys first-time at goal. Develops the technique to finish balls dropping from height — crosses, knock-downs, second balls.
COACHING POINTS
• Get under the ball — knee bent, body over the ball
• Strike through the middle with the laces
• Keep the volley LOW — high volleys go over the bar
• Use the side-foot for accuracy, laces for power
• Follow through toward the target, not up in the air
Progression: chest the ball down, then volley before it lands. Half-volley off the bounce. Outside-of-foot volley.
Regression: slower throws, controlled volley on the bounce only.
