Football: Zig-Zag

Description

Set up cones in a zig-zag formation. Groups of 6 are stationed on the endline. 1 ball per group.

The dribblers move up, then back down the cones performing inside and outside of the foot turns to get back to their team. Inside of the foot, chop on the way up, outside hook on the way down.

Make it a race between the groups.

Coaching points

Imagine each cone is a defender as you turn and say, "Want it? Can't have it!"

Keep your body between the ball and the imaginary defender.

Stretch to reach the ball, don't run past the ball before you make the cut.

Try to keep the ball out and away from the body.
