Striking the ball to shoot at goal is a key skill in football and there is no better feeling than seeing your shot hit the back of the net.

For goalkeepers, striking the ball to distribute accurately is just as important and all the best goalkeepers in the world are now experts at doing so.

As always, this week’s activities are broken down into each aspect of New Zealand Football’s four-corners training model as follows:

Technical – learn all the ways of striking a ball
Tactical – analyse how the world’s best players do it
Physical – improve your fitness to perfect striking a ball
Mental – build up your confidence by visualising striking a ball

In this week's programme we have some amazing videos for you to watch  including one made especially for this edition by Football Fern Hannah Wilkinson (featuring her own music!). 

We love seeing how you’re getting on with the programme so why not post a video of yourself perfecting the art of striking a ball on social media and tag us using #StayHomeStayActive
