Dribble and shoot (15 mins)

Key Factors

Keep the ball in front of you, good first touch, accuracy over power

Organisation

Set up an area split into two sections, one with a 6 x 5 yards boxes and the other with two lines of three cones and a goal at the far end. Line up players behind each of the boxes and give each one a ball.

(1) On command, the first player in each line dribbles to the far edge of the box, turns using a stop turn (or inside/outside foot), dribbles back to the start line, then turns again and dribbles back line to far edge.

(2) The player dribbles through the cones as fast as he can. You are looking for the players to move smoothly between the cones with good dribbling.

(3) After he dribbles the three cones, he shoots at the goal. If the player scores, his team obtain a point.
