A gate each: ball mastery between the cones
  • 6 players
  • 6 balls
  • 8 goals

Grid 1

Each player starts in a gate. Perform ball mastery skills between the gate. Start with taps, then review and teach the drag turn (pull back).

Grid 2: transitions

  1. Coaches stand in the middle and tell players to dribble and score.
  2. Coaches move to different gates, so players must turn away and find a different gate.
  3. After 30+ seconds, have them find a gate and stop, using the bottom of the foot to control the ball between the cones.
  4. With players back in a gate, move to boxers and jump over turns, then transition again.

Skill 3

See if players can use the inside of their foot to dribble around their two cones in a figure 8. If they don't make the figure 8 but still dribble around the cones, that's okay.
