Pass out to the player on the cone. They receive on their back foot. Dribble round the cones. When they get to mannequin go round/cut in and shoot. Turn, sideways ladder. Tag next player and go again. Once the ball is played by a player they move to the black cone to receive the ball next time. Cones on GK's line, Keep him stepping over the cones left and right high knees between the posts so he has to reposition body for each shot. After a few rounds, the backfoot touch then needs to push the ball out so they run onto it instead of stopping it. 1 point per team for a goal. 1 point for GK per save or off target by the kicker.
When receiving on you back foot, where are the cones and which way should you be facing. Get side on. Be on target, dont just swing and rush the shot - if they go wide, the GK gets a point.
