Set Up:

This is a simple soccer drill that emphasizes ball control. Set up three cones as shown about 10 - 15 yards apart. Players should be divided into groups of three. There are two parts to this drill: The first part requires players to dribble the soccer ball the entire time. On the whistle, the first player dribbles the ball around each of the cones. Players need to go around the cones on different sides to work on control with both feet.  They should also work on using the inside and outside of their feet.  Have players maintain control for 1 minute, and then blow the whistle to start the next player. This gives players one minute of dribbling time with a two minute rest. Have each player do three repetitions before moving to the next part. Part two includes a passer in the middle of the triangle. The drill works the same but now the player with the ball must perform a give and go between each cone.  After one minute, the dribbler switches into the middle to become the passer and the passer gets a one minute rest before his next dribbling run.

Coaching Points:

1.  Use the shoelaces when running with the ball.

2.  Reach around the ball in order to cut it sharply.

3.  Look up in between dribble touches.
