Ball control drills
To start off with a basic drill, you can dribble the ball through the cones using one foot caressing the ball with the inside of the foot as you go through the middle of one cone and moving the ball through the next gap with the outside of the foot. Then repeat this process through the number of cones you have set up.
Speed and agility
Starting from the left-middle marker, sprint to one end (10 yards), turn and immediately sprint to the other end (20 yards) and then to the finish marker (10 yards). Turn on a different foot at each marker and try to touch the ground with your hand.
Ball confidence and control
To start off with a basic drill, you can dribble the ball through the cones using one foot caressing the ball with the inside of the foot as you go through the middle of one cone and moving the ball through the next gap with the outside of the foot. Then repeat this process through the number of cones you have set up.
Defending drills
