Johan Cruijff said once: “If you don’t shoot, you will never score.” This sounds really easy but is also really true. The aim of soccer is to win the game. You can only win when you score more than the other team does. This makes shooting one of the most important parts of soccer. The Powershooting classes are created to teach players how to make a powerful but well aimed shot. A shot that can be used to score goals. This class will go through the 7 basics steps in striking the ball correctly with both feet. The player will be taught to understand and recognize mistakes they are making and properly correct them.
What is taught in this Class
There are 3 levels in the Powershooting classes. In each level the basic principle is the same, but the difficulty is different. In the Powershooting 1 class we are focusing on 7 basic steps. The mechanics of a powerful and accurate shot will be broken down during this class. After the Powershooting 1 class the player should be able to take a powerful shot and correct themselves when their shot is not powerful or accurate.
In the Powershooting 2 class we will use the same 7 basic steps. The shot the players learned to make in the Powershooting 1 class is the starting point for the Powershooting 2 class. In this class we are focusing on how to make a powerful and accurate shot when the ball is moving. How do you take your shot when the ball is rolling towards you? And what do you have to do when the ball is towards you from the side? In the Powershooting 2 class the players will learn to take a powerful and accurate shot in from any angle.
Powershooting 3 is the highest Powershooting class we teach. In this class the players will learn how to take the powerful and accurate shot they learned in the previous Powershooting classes under full pressure. We will bring the player into game situation they can face on the field. They will learn how to make the shot in these situations, under pressure of an opponent.
All Powershooting classes are focused on individual development.
Who should do this Class
Most of the goals scored will be scored by forwards and midfielders, but that doesn’t mean the Powershooting class is only for players who mainly play in these positions. Because the technique of Powershooting is also used in passing the class is very good for the general development of every player. When a player mostly plays defense they still have opportunities to shoot and score in games. It doesn’t matter what level the player is playing. On every level you need to score to be able to win the game.
Because of the methodical way we developed the classes the players should have the skills taught in the previous class to proceed to the next class. The player could have learned these skills during the class or elsewhere. As a general outline we advise the following ages and playing experience for the Powershooting classes:
Powershooting 1 – Age 7 to 10 or 1 to 2 years of Travel/Classes experience
Powershooting 2 – Age 10 to 12 or 3 to 4 years of Travel/Classes experience
Powershooting 3 – Age 12 and up or 5 years or more of Travel/Classes experience
Because the class focuses on individual development a difference in age does not affect the learning experience in our classes.
