Shooting - Break Out Box
technical03:312,284 views

Players receive four different feeds from a small 10 x 10 box on the outside of the area and must break out of the box to shoot at goal. This progresses to players using their first touch to push outside of the box, and finally adding opposition pressure from one of the feeders

Context

Originally we saw this unopposed idea on Soccer AMs "You Know the Drill", and have added two elements to it to work on the attackers first, explosive touch outside of the box and finally adding some defensive pressure.

Any references to this video being ‘free’ relate to when we launched the website in 2018, when all our videos were free of charge. We hoped to cover our costs through site advertising but unfortunately, we were unable to gain the necessary support for our ethical approach from either sport related companies, the media or clubs in the professional game. To continue providing and funding quality coaching videos on our platform, we have now switched to a subscription-based model. For less than £1 per week, you will not only be helping us to maintain, grow and enrich our insightful coaching resource, you will also have full access to hundreds of videos, from both grassroots and elite levels.
