goal

goal

for the goal is it the yellow to blue or yellow to yellow?

1 Vs. 1 Channelling

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.

Hi,

The goal depends on which side the player is attacking from. Generally speaking the goal will always be between a yellow and blue cone. There are two goals in this instance, but players must score in the goal on the opposite side to which they started on..
