The mirror shooting drill is excellent for teaching players to time off-ball movements and get open to receive passes. The coach rolls out a ball, and three players leave their cones. The first player picks up the ball and carries it below the goal line extended. The two players at the top work to get open and receive the pass, moving the ball quickly and shooting as fast as possible. You can also finish by re-feeding the ball to the player sneaking on the goal line.
