This drill teaches toddlers to shoot the ball accurately by repeatedly kicking the ball into an empty goal.
Have up to five players form a line about 5 yards away from a goal and give each player a ball.
The first player kicks the ball into the net, runs to retrieve it and then moves to the back of the line.
If she misses, she tries again until she succeeds before the second player takes his turn.
Cycle through the line multiple times, encouraging and praising each player's effort.
Teach the players to encourage their teammates as well.
You can play a game by counting how many goals they can make in a row or within a specified amount of time if desired.
