From Which Distance Goals Are Scored
Goals in the study were scored as follows:
from inside the 6yd (5m) box: 28%
from outside the 6yd box but inside the penalty box: 55%
from outside the penalty box: 17%
In total then, 83% of all goals are scored from inside the penalty box.
Coaching Implications
This confirms what good coaches have been practicing for a long time. They get theri team to work the ball into the target area inside the box, which almost forms a triangle with the 6yd box as its basr and the penalty spot at its tip.
Next we will talk about which build-ups lead to the goals.
the practice books below have many drills emphasizing attacking plays to the target areas.
