Short Passing, Dribbling, and Shooting Drill
-
Organisation
- 5 cones
- 6 flat hurdles
- Marking cones
- One ball per round
-
Process
- Player Red sidesteps over hurdles with 2 touches per section, receives a short pass at (2), and immediately returns it (3).
- Red repeats the hurdle sidestep, receives another short pass from Yellow (5), and returns it (6).
- Yellow then passes a lead ball to Red (7), who dribbles through the cone course with various techniques (9).
- At the course's end, Red plays a lofted ball to Player Blue (10), who controls it, dribbles shortly, and shoots at goal.
Position Rotation: Yellow -> Red -> Blue -> Yellow

Tip
- Variation at (10): Player Blue lets the ball bounce off them to the approaching Player Red, who then gives Blue a lead pass for a shot at goal.
- Ensure execution is ambidextrous: short passing, dribbling, and shooting.
