Grid 15x15M, ball each player, 3 different coloured conee, half of each colour face upwards (normal position) and three of each colour face down.
Game:
On command all the players dribble into the area and go to the cones.
They either turn their own colour the right way up and/or turn the other two colours upside down.
This helps them learn how to dribble in a congested space, dribble at speed and keep the ball under close control.
Then shout “Stop. Compound.”
The players pick up their own ball and run back into a compound, which is a coned-off area alongside the main playing area.
The cones are then counted.
Each team is given two points for every one of their own cones that is the right way up. Then deduct one point from the team whose final player is last to get back to the compound.

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.
