Dribbling - Direction Shift
-
Organisation
• 7 cones (two different colors)
-
Process
The player dribbles towards the cone and performs a body feint, movement, or trick to drag the ball into the direction of the next cone.
Examples/ Variations:
1. Inside of the foot (strong and weak)
2. Outside of the foot (strong and weak)
3. Dragging the ball with the sole
4. Zidane-Trick
6. Backheel Drag/ Elastico
After the last red cone, the player dribbles towards the two yellow cones (end zone) and perform another feint, to return to the starting point.
Examples/ Variations:
1. Dragging the ball with the sole
2. Cutting off
3. Drag the ball behind standing foot
4. Deco-Turn
5. Shooting or Passing feint with change of direction
Finally, the player passes the ball to the player waiting at the starting point.
Then he will start the drill.

Tip
Coaching Points:
• High tempo and good technique
• Movements (body feints, turns) should be done by the whole body so that it becomes harder to predict the next move for the defender
-
Field size
• Consider age of players/ quality when setting up the cones and the distance between them
