- Age U6 - U13
- Training Set Progression
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Set up two parallel lanes. In each lane one cone marks the starting position, followed by 7 cones of different colours one behind the other approximately 1.5 metres apart, and a turning marker at the end of the lane.
Equipment: 18 cones in different colours, of which 2 are flag poles or eye-catching markers for the turning points.
Players: Two teams, assigned to the two lanes.
Procedure
- The first player in each lane jumps over the cones with two-footed jumps, runs to the turning marker, runs back in a straight line and tags the next team-mate.
Scoring: Play as a team competition: which team jumps over the cones the quickest?
Variations:
- In the following rounds, run through the course in a slalom.
- Only jump over every second cone with a two-footed jump.
- Jump with the right leg only.
- Jump with the left leg only.
- Set a fixed jumping task for each cone colour, for example yellow for the two-footed jump and blue for the right leg.
- Run through the course with the ball in the hands.
- Dribble through the cones with different dribbling tasks.
Note: Drill idea by Max Schönijahn.
Tip
- Look for correct execution.
- Encourage the players again and again.
- During the dribbling, look for the use of both feet.
