Week 1 Session 3

Refer to Session Layout‍

At cone 1, perform 3-5 kick ups and then knock the ball up above head height (vary the height), control and proceed to dribble towards the group of randomly placed cones. Drive through the cones, avoiding touching any of them. Once you have got through the cones, drive at cone 9. Beat cone 9 as if it is a defender and drive through gate 12-13 or 10-11. Once you have got through the gate, jog back to cone 1 and start again. Make sure to keep alternating which gate you go through.

Then proceed to clip the ball with your right foot goalwards and aim to try and just drop the ball just beneath the crossbar and into the goal. Then go back to cone 1 and dribble towards cone 3. Fake to go around cone 3 but cut back inside with a turn. Then proceed to clip the ball with your left foot goalwards and aim to try and just drop the ball just beneath the crossbar and into the goal. Repeat the process working on both feet.
