Setup
To begin this drill, create a circle with disc cones that is approximately 10-15 metres in circumference. Make sure each player has a ball, and instruct them to line up around the outside of the circle.
Instructions
Have the players begin the soccer drill by dribbling around the outside of the circle all in the same direction. The coach should inform the players to listen for certain queues and perform those actions once the coach shouts the command. These commands are:
JOG - players should dribble at a comfortable speed
FULL SPEED - players should dribble at their top speed
CUT - players should cut the ball in the other direction and travel in the other direction around the circle
CROSS - all players should cut across the grid avoiding contact with other players or other players balls.
Change the type of ball you put in like a high ball.
