How it's set up
This foundation phase practice takes place in a 20 yard circular playing area and focuses on developing players technical ability while running with the ball. Each player starts with a ball and is positioned on one of the stations in the playing area. We begin with the coach announcing which skill players must perform while moving between the cones. Players perform the skill until the coach calls for a change. Skills such as left and right foot dribbling, dribbling backwards, toe-taps and side-to-side instep controls all contribute to improving players technical ability with the ball.
Key coaching points
- Focus on the correct technique of the skill over performing it quickly
- Close ball control when moving between the cones.
- Perform skill using both left and right foot, practice the weaker one!
