Players line up in two teams on either side next to the goal. One player from each side dribbles through the cone on their side. They dribble around the middle code and toward the green cone, shooting before they get to the green cone. Variation: The players dribble in a circle around the first two cones. Then then run an dribble a circle around the second two cones. Then they dribble around the middle cone and shoot. Variation 2: Instead of dribbling through their own line, the players will weave between the two lines before dribbling around the center cone and shooting.
Dribbling with tight control with pace. Keep your head up to avoid contact with the opposing player. Shooting from outside.
