Players dribble their ball up to the hurdles and then feed the ball under each one until they reach the end of the line.
When players reach the end they should dribble the ball back to the end of their queue of players.
To begin with players can use both feet, but as the drill progresses you can instruct players to only use their right/ left foot.
Look for close control from your players, not allowing the ball to get away from them.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
