Watch out for your Partner

watch out for your partner - soccer dribbling drill for kids
My Drill Notes: 

In this drill you can teach the players how to use the instep of their foot to dribble the ball around the cone. They have to be aware and react to their partner so they do not go to the same side of the cone. You can also have them use the outside of their foot depending on their skill level.
