Attack The Cone Dribbling Sequence

Setup

You will require: 2 balls / 10 cones, Set up a square at least 10x10 in size using 4 cones, add an additional cone in the center to create an X, one player on each of the outer cones, one ball per player

How it works

Start with players dribbling towards the center cone and then turning to go back to their original cone, do this several times to practice turning, then have players go in twos diagonally opposite each other, players use a feint to move around the center cone and dribble to the opposite cone, rotate turns in pairs so they don't collide

Coaching points

  • Close control
  • Head up
  • Scan
  • Change direction
  • Head up dribble
  • Use both feet

Progressions

progression: Change pairs to create new sequences buy dribbling to different cones Regression: Remove a player for easier sequences and less traffic
