Players split to the four stations shown in the image. Each one with a ball. Create a yellow square using flat cones.
PROGRESSION 1
Players driblle towards the red cones and feint away from the defender. The aim of this drill is to pass by the defender and shoot towards the goal before exiting the yellow square.
FEINTS
PROGRESSION 2
Competition. Place one goal keeper only on one side (e.g. blue). Red player runs towards the cone feints away and shoots to score. As soon as he takes the shot a blue player on the side of the post begins his run. The red player that took the shot has to run back and become a goal keeper!! The team that scores the most goals wins!
Give double points to the player who dribbles and scores with his weakest foot!
