Organization:

Set up a vertical line of cones outside of the penalty area, and a horizontal line of cones 25 yards from goal. Place a single cone five yards behind that line in the center. The shooter performs a dribbling and finishing sequence, stopping the ball and picking it up again three times before shooting.

Description:

The shooter dribbles away fro goal through the vertical line of cones, and then stops the ball in the center of the horizontal line of cones. Then he/she runs around the top cone and back to pick up the ball. From there, the shooter dribbles in a figure eight around the cones to the right and the left, stopping the ball in the center again to run to the top cone and back. Finally, he/she picks up the ball one last time, dribbling through the vertical line of cones and finishing on goal.

Focus Points:

• Sharp changes of speed and direction with the dribble.

• Close control of the dribble.

• Create a good shooting angle as you clear the last cone.
