The shot on target in youth football

The shot on target in football, is considered to be a basic skill, considered technical and tactical (Jürgen Brausse, C. 2004).

This skill is the principal skill to obtain the principal objective of the football, that is to say, score the goals. Normally the shot on target is realized by the feet, though the auctions the head also possess as shots on target in the statistics.

First of all to train this skill, especially in children, it is necessary to progress slow. It is necessary to begin for situations of shot on target simple and without movement, to more complicated situations, with movement, lateral movement, frontal movement... with displacements, to complicate the action and that is not simple.

On the other hand, once acquired the technical basic habilities, we will increase the difficulty, adding adversaries or obstacles, first cones will be in use, later adversaries without opposition or liabilities and finally adversaries who try to prevent the action. 

Moreover, in the learning of the shot on target it is necessary to train as the ball is received, it is important to train this aspect since it combines with a skill that already one has seen in this blog, the control, since a good control allows make a great shot and obtain the principal objective of this sport, the goal.

To establish a good system of training of this skill, it would be necessary that the different exercises were combined depending on the moment of the season in which the team is, since in periods with great load is not suitable to increase too much the difficulty of the exercises.

Finally, to complete the learning it will be applied in real match situations, to verify the improvement of the players and to see his reaction in situations of stress and pressure (Hans-Jörg, E. et al 1998).
