Description
Two teams line up side by side behind their cones. When the player with the ball sets off to run around the cone the drill is live.
The player with the ball must run around the cone and then try to score a goal in the defender's side goal by dribbling the ball across the line. This will score them a point.
The defenders have to try and force the player to run across their own goal line or tackle them and run the ball over the line themselves.
The winner is the first team to 3 goals. After this you can swap the roles around, with the attackers now defending and vice versa.
Coaching points
The defensive player should be patient and not commit themselves too easily or else they may give away an easy goal to the attacking side.
The defenders should stay low and try not to cross over their feet but shuffle and shadow using fast feet.
