FineSoccer Drill 30

The last drill in this series is one that can be done by a single player or with a whole team.

Have three cones set up in an L shape as shown in the diagram below:

Start at one of the outside cones and dribble to the central cone and cut the ball sharply with the inside of the foot to go hard at the other outside cone.  when you get to the next outside cone, turn and go back to the central cone and cut with the other foot.  Do this for a minute and then rest for a minute.  The keys here are to accelerate on each turn and really push yourself at all times.

After each break, make a small change such as  cutting with the outside of the foot or changing the turns on the outside.  You can add things like circling each of the cones before moving on, using the right foot and then left foot only, adding moves to get around the central cone (for example, a pull cruyf must be done between each)

The closer the cones are to each other, the more moves and turns.  I recommend starting with them being 10 yards apart and then gradually moving in towards 5 yards.

Done properly, this can be a very intense drill and proper rest periods must be taken in order to ensure quality work.

Have a great day
