Hi Bernett, For a "dribble to score" drill in a game situation, you might find the "End Zone Party" drill useful. In this practice, you set out an endzone 5 yards wide from each endline and play 4 v 4. The objective is to advance the ball to the attacking endzone, where a goal is scored when a player dribbles the ball into the endzone and stops it with the sole of their foot. This setup encourages players to take on defenders and switch the direction of play.

You can find more details and the setup for this drill here: 1 End Zone Party.
