Set up a small pitch with two goals - one at each end.
Split the players into two teams of equal ability and give each player on the teams a number - so there should be a number 1 on both teams for example. The coach shouts a number and the players of that number will enter the pitch the pitch for a one v one.
The aim is to dribble the ball over the goal line. Make sure you shout the numbers in a random order so it isn't 1,2,3,4 but 1,4,3,2 for example. Make sure everyone has their number called the same amount of times.
Progressions
Increase the players so shout two or three numbers. Change from dribbling over the line to shooting but dribbling is worth more points. Add a second ball - halfway through while they are playing.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
