Setup:
Layout 12ft. square with large cones then randomly fill the square with 20-25 smaller cones.
Divide players into equal size teams of 3 or 4 and have them set up on opposite sides of the square from each other.
Rules:
- Players will be asked to simultaneously dribble through the field to the opposite side without running into cones or each other.
- If players run into each other or cones, they will either accumulate penalty points or be asked to start over.
- After all teams have gone, team with the quickest time or fewest penalty points wins.
Coaching points:
- Keep the ball close, CONTROL!
- A touch for every step.
- Head up, spatial awareness.
- Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!
Progressions:
- Add additional/reposition cones.
- Only use left foot, right, inside, outside, sole, etc.
- Require the use of skill techniques (Pullbacks, L-turns, V-cuts, etc.)

Setup:
- Cone off a small rectangular field approximately 25x15 yds and play small goals at each end (size of field may vary based on age and skill level of players).
- Players are assigned a number so that they may keep track of who is up next.
- Game begins with a 1v1.
- Upon scoring, the player who scores will then gain a player creating a 2v1.
- The next team who scores then subsequently gains another player (so either 3v1 or 2v2).
- In order to score a point a team must score a goal with three players on the field.
- If defense stops the offense from scoring by TWICE forcing them to miss the goal or play the ball out of bounds, field clears and start fresh with two new 1v1 players.
- Be creative and bold with the ball, take chances and "go for it"
- On defense try to force opposition to make a mistake or move to a less dangerous part of the field.
- When having a numerical advantage, how can we move without the ball to create space, passing, and scoring opportunities.
- Teamwork and communication from teammates both on and off the field.
