  • Age U6 - U13
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

Pitch: Four cones form a square, four more stand as a diamond in the middle of it.

Equipment: 8 cones and one ball per player.

Players: Groups of equal size at the outer cones.

Procedure

  • The first players dribble towards the centre of the area at the same time and dribble around any cone there.
  • Then they pass the ball to the team-mate at the outer cone opposite.
  • The dribbler sprints after the pass.
  • As soon as the receiving player has been tagged, that player may dribble into the area and has to dribble around a different cone.
  • The sequence continues until one team has dribbled around all four cones.

Tip

  • Look up from the ball when dribbling.
  • Perform the acceleration after the pass explosively.
