Ready to train your shots?

Each roll creates a new soccer exercise to improve control, accuracy, power and finishing. Follow the training tips and record your progress after each session. Consistent practice makes you a stronger, smarter and more confident player.

It will not always be easy. Keep showing up and training with your Junaizo Box every day to develop skills for any position. Challenge yourself to improve with every roll.

  1. Grab a soccer ball and set up a goal.
  2. Roll the orange Shooting Die and the yellow Target Die.
  3. The Shooting Die tells you how to take the shot: right foot, left foot, volley, power shot and more.
  4. The Target Die tells you where to aim: top left, center, bottom right and more.
  5. Take the shot, then roll again for your next challenge.

Placement & control01Side Foot ShotMaster Accuracy & Control

The Side Foot Shot is the go-to technique when accuracy matters most. Use it to place the ball into the corners, finish one-on-one chances or take penalties with confidence.

Best used for

  • Bottom left and bottom right corners
  • Center placement
  • Penalties
  • Controlled finishes

Pro tips

  • Use the inside of your foot for better control.
  • Keep your ankle locked when making contact.
  • Stay balanced throughout the shot.
  • Focus on placement before power.

How to perform the shot

  1. Pick your target. Choose the corner before you shoot.
  2. Approach the ball. Take a slight diagonal run-up for a comfortable shooting angle.
  3. Plant your foot. Place the non-kicking foot beside the ball, pointing toward your target.
  4. Strike the ball. Use the inside of your foot to strike the center of the ball for maximum control.
  5. Follow through. Keep your head over the ball and follow through toward your target to improve accuracy.

Challenge yourself

Start with a stationary ball. Once comfortable, keep applying the inside-foot contact, locked ankle, balanced position and placement-first technique as you increase the difficulty.

    The more you practice, the more accurate and confident your finishing becomes. Roll the dice, accept the challenge and keep improving!

    Power & distance02Instep ShotMaster Power & Distance

    The Instep (Laces) Shot generates maximum power. It is ideal for long-range strikes, powerful finishes and free kicks when you want to beat the goalkeeper with speed and force.

    Best used for

    • Long-range shots
    • Powerful finishes
    • Top-corner shots
    • Free kicks

    Pro tips

    • Strike with the laces for maximum power.
    • Lock the ankle to create strong, clean contact.
    • Keep your eyes on the ball until after impact.
    • Focus on technique before adding more power.

    How to perform the shot

    1. Choose your target. Pick where you want the ball to go before your run-up.
    2. Approach the ball. Take a controlled run-up of about 4–5 steps at a slight angle.
    3. Plant your foot. Place your non-kicking foot beside the ball, pointing toward the target.
    4. Strike the ball. Point your toes down, lock your ankle, and strike the center with the laces—the top of your foot.
    5. Follow through. Keep your head over the ball for a powerful, low shot. Lean back slightly if aiming for the top corners.

    Challenge yourself

    Start with a stationary ball, then increase the difficulty:

    • Shoot after dribbling.
    • Strike a moving ball after a pass.
    • Shoot from longer distances.
    • Challenge yourself to hit the top corners consistently.

    Power comes from good technique, not just strength. Practice, build confidence and develop faster, stronger, more accurate shots.

    Precision & bend03Curling ShotMaster Precision & Bend

    The Curling Shot bends the ball around defenders and places it beyond the goalkeeper’s reach. Use it to aim at the far post and create spectacular finishes.

    Best used for

    • Far-corner finishes
    • Shooting around defenders
    • Free kicks
    • Placing the ball beyond the goalkeeper

    Pro tips

    • Strike slightly off-center to create spin.
    • Keep the ankle locked for clean contact.
    • Focus on smooth technique rather than power.
    • Practice aiming at the far post to improve accuracy.

    How to perform the shot

    1. Choose your target. Pick the corner you want the ball to curl into.
    2. Approach the ball. Take a slight diagonal run-up to create the right angle.
    3. Create spin. Use the front inside part of your foot to strike just below the center and slightly to one side.
    4. Follow through. Lock your ankle and follow through toward the target to maintain control and accuracy.

    Challenge yourself

    Master a stationary ball, then increase the difficulty:

    • Curl shots after dribbling.
    • Receive a pass and shoot first time.
    • Shoot around cones or defenders.
    • Practice from different angles and distances.

    The more you practice your technique, the more control you have over where the ball finishes.

    Timing & technique04Volley & Half VolleyMaster Timing & Technique

    Volleys and half volleys require excellent timing and coordination. Done well, they produce quick, powerful shots that leave goalkeepers very little time to react.

    Volley

    Strike the ball before it touches the ground.

    Half volley

    Strike immediately after its first bounce.

    Best used for

    • First-time finishes
    • Crosses into the box
    • Quick scoring opportunities
    • Powerful attacking shots

    Pro tips

    • Keep your eyes on the ball until contact.
    • Focus on timing before power.
    • Lock your ankle for a clean strike.
    • Stay balanced throughout the shot.

    How to perform the shot

    1. Set up the ball. Toss it into the air, or have a teammate pass or cross it to you.
    2. Watch the ball. Follow it from start to finish and judge its height and timing.
    3. Strike with your laces. Lock your ankle and make clean contact with the laces of your foot.
    4. Stay balanced. Keep your head over the ball to produce a controlled, driven shot.
    5. Follow through. Finish toward the target while maintaining balance.

    Challenge yourself

    Ready for a bigger challenge?

    • Practice volleys from different heights.
    • Try half volleys after one bounce.
    • Receive crosses from a teammate and finish first time.
    • Alternate between your dominant and weaker foot.

    Great volleys are about perfect timing, clean contact and confidence, rather than hitting as hard as possible. Practice to become more consistent with every session.

    Clean up the small things.

    Leaning back

    Can send the ball over the goal. Keep your chest over the ball.

    Looking up too early

    Leads to poor contact. Watch the ball until you strike it.

    Reduces power and accuracy. Lock your ankle before contact.

    Poor foot placement

    Affects balance and control. Plant your non-kicking foot beside the ball.
