Changing of direction relay:

Set out the cones as shown in the picture.

Each side of the triangles are about 1m.

They should be positioned in such away that the players exiting one traingle can run in straight line to into the next.

The practice is that the players have to run in to one side of the triangle and exit through another side.

Eliminating a Player

Beat a player relay:

Setup as shown.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 who dribbles the ball into the box before dribbling out of one of the side of the box. Player 1 then passes the ball back to player 4 for the practice to start again.

Eliminating a Player

Dribble pass and run:

Player 1 starts dribbling, player 4 makes a move to the right/left and there is a short wallpass between 1 and 4. After containing the ball it is passed to palyer 2 and then they start off and player 1 takes their place, and so on.
