# Football - Penalty shot

## [Video Resource](https://media-prod.pehub.eject.pro/cms-sync/cG9zdDoxNzcxODMx)

A penalty shot in football is a direct kick from 12 yards (modified distance in primary PE lessons), awarded for a foul in the penalty area.  Only the goalkeeper can defend the shot; other players must stay outside the area until the kick is taken.

## Teaching points for a penalty shot

- Choose where you are going to aim to kick the ball and stick to it e.g. bottom left hand corner
- Stay composed before and while taking the shot
- Approach the ball from a slight angle
- Plant your non kicking foot next to the ball and strike the ball with the inside of your foot
- Focus on accuracy over power
- Don't watch the goalkeeper but watch where you want to send the ball
