Drills

Indian Dribble

Use a line on the ground to help stay straight. Indian dribble the ball back and forth while running on the straight line. Feet should stay running on the line, and ball should be in front of body moving back and forth. Move on to weaving through cones while indian dribbling.

Reverse Chip

Start with back facing toward goal. Take one dribble on an angle away from body and one on an angle away in front of the body, so the ball moves in a V path. Step into the ball and reverse chip the ball. Repeat several times then move onto receiving a pass then set up ball to be chipped.

Lift
Set up 10 balls in a row. Step into each ball and lift onto goal. Aim for the high corners.
