Near Post Left

Near post left. Same idea as near post right — just from the other side with your left foot.

This is Shooting Drill 7 — the last one. Get here and you’re ready for the coach test.



  1. Approach at an angle from the left
  2. The near post is the left side of the goal from your position
  3. Strike with your left foot — hard and low into the near corner
  4. No setup touch if you can help it — take it clean

Focus on: the same pace and placement as near post right. It should look identical — just the other foot.


“Hard and low. Near post. Done.”
