Go Short, Half Turn And Finish (First Touch 1 to 1 U10-U12)

Setup

You will require: 6 cones / 6 balls / 1 goal, Set up a row of 6 cones approx 2 meters apart, the attacker starts on the cone closest to the goal, the passer starts on the cone furthest from goal

How it works

Balls start with Passer, the attacker calls when they want the ball and moves towards the passer, the passer plays the ball and the attacker takes it on the half turn, they then attempt to score with the second touch, repeat the process 6 times before retrieving the balls
