Does anyone know some simple drills to coach hitting on the move to young people.

Hitting on the move is with the right foot in front, I usume you mean that.

see diagram for an simple drill

The red player on the 25 yeard line, runs with the ball toward the top of the D and shoots with his right foot in front (low on the board so the ball bounch back into the field) he shoots his own ball the second time on goal.

The most inportant thing is that he shoots with his right foot in front, your hit will be more from the hip.

Its also important that the player pushes OR keeps the ball just slightly AWAY from the body and not too close to their feet. Some coaches get the players to push the ball DIAGONALLY AWAY from their body, as to help them understand where the ball should be for a good hit.
