Goal Attack

Score and create. You drive the attack, link with the WA and finish what the GS sets up.

Centre third + attacking goal third + shooting circle

Train it

Drills

  • 01

    Drive-and-drive-back

    Sprint to the post, receive, drive back to the edge, receive again, shoot. Repeat 10×.

    ~15 min

  • 02

    Two-shooter rotation

    Work with a GS — feed, screen, swap. Build chemistry on the circle edge.

    ~20 min

  • 03

    Long-range repeats

    20 shots from the circle edge. Then 20 close-in. Then 20 alternating.

    ~15 min

Fitness tips

  • Repeat sprint ability

    10× 30m sprints with 30s rest. GAs cover huge distances at high intensity.

  • Change-of-direction

    5-10-5 shuttles 6×. Quick feet to lose your defender.

  • Single-leg power

    Lunge jumps and Bulgarian split squats — you land on one leg far more than two.
