Near Post Right
Near post is the fast option. The keeper expects you to go far post — so you go near. It’s a sharp angle, and it has to be quick and low.
This is Shooting Drill 6.
Watch & Practice
Section titled “Watch & Practice”How to Do It
Section titled “How to Do It”- Approach at an angle from the right
- The near post is the right side of the goal from your position
- Strike with your right foot — laces or inside — aiming hard at the near post corner
- Keep it low — near post shots that go high are easy to save
Focus on: pace. Near post shots that trickle to the corner don’t work. This needs to be fast.
