OFTEN USED WITH...

Slalom - footwork only:

- Dribbling through a slalom of cones, keeping the ball on the strong side throughout

- Footwork is key

Video Techniques

Keep on Forehand:

Players with ball have to run around the cone and try and score. Players without ball also have to run around the cone, and then try and stop the other player scoring.

Defending Skills

1v1 with restriction line:

Players with the ball try and cross the 23m line between the cones
the defender is only allowe to defend infront of the line and try and score.

Eliminating a Player

1 v 1 move through channels:

Set out cones on lines creating lanes across or down the pitch, each lane approx 2m wide. The player with the ball runs diagonally across the lanes, while the defender has to try and get in front of the player with the ball. Whenever the defender gets into the same lane as the player with the ball, the player with the ball has to change direction and run diagonally across the lanes in the opposite direction. Once the players get to the end of the lanes, the roles reverse.
