This is a simple SAQ football shooting drill for all ages. You can amend the distances, amount of dribbling slaloms for your own groups to differentiate. This is just a little idea for PE lessons and coaching sessions. It can also be used as a SAQ Football warm up or skill based activity. Be mindful of queue times and make sure there are other activities or lots of stations to maximise engagement and participation.

I think it best to try and emulate the sport you are practicing as much as possible. In football I make the kids run around poles to emulate moving around a player
