Set up: Set up a diamond 6 yards long by 2 yards wide with a cone on each point and one in the middle. 1-3 players per diamond, each player has a ball.
Execution: Players dribble at the center cone as if they are dribbling at a defender, they then perform a move to beat the defender and cut to either side cone, finally exploding to the end cone. Repeat for 30 seconds - 2 minutes and then rest.
Coaching Points: 1) Players need three things to beat a defender: change of speed, change of direction and deception. 2) Make this game like, it doesnt make us any better when we do this half speed. 3) Experiment here and be willing to make mistakes.

Set Up: Set up one grid per 3-4 players. Each grid should be 5x15 yards. All balls start on one side of the grid.
Execution: Player 1 passes ball into player 2. Player 1 becomes the defender, attempting to win possession from player 2, the attacker. The attacker attempts to dribble through the gate and stop the ball on the opposite line. The defender attempts to win possession of the ball and counter attack by stopping the ball on the opposite line.
Coaching Points: 1) Translate what we just did in the diamonds to a real action situation. 2) Be willing to take some chances and make mistakes. 3) Dont give up! Keep going until the play is done.

Set up: Set up two diamonds (from moves diamond) on the outside corners of the 18 yd box. Players should be at either diamond. One player should be in the box playing as a striker, a goalkeeper should be in goal.
Execution: Players dribble through the diamond as before. They must make a choice, either dribble to the center of the field and attempt a shot on goal or dribble to the outisde of the field and attempt a cross into the striker in the box.
Coaching Points: 1) Think ahead, what are you going to do before you get into the middle of your move. 2) Get away has to be dynamic. Explosive movement and clean ball control are a must to be successful. 3) Get your head up. As you escape get your head up so you can figure out what is going on and what to do next.
