Wall Passes
-The players on the side set up for wall passes will dribble towards the first cone, knock the ball off the wall around the cone, collect the ball on the run and proceed to the next cone.
-This player continues until the last cone on their side is wall-passed around.
-Once the final cone is reached the player should have one touch towards goal and then shoot on target.
-Switch lines after the shot.
Dribble Through Cones
-The players on the side set up for dribbling through the cones should start at the same time the player on the wall passing line starts. This player dribbles in and out of the cones until they reach the end of the cones.
-At this point, the player passes to the coach who plays the ball back to the player for a shot on goal.
-After the shot they should switch lines and the pattern should continue.
