Dribble And Finish (Finishing U7-U9)

Setup

You will require: 6 cones / 6 balls / 1 goal, Set up a row of 6 cones approx 1 meter apart in front of a goal, the attacker starts with a ball on the cone furthest from the goal

How it works

The attacker dribbles through the cones in front of goal, after the final cone the attacker attempts to score in the goal, they then return and repeat with the next ball.
