Football Training – Dribbling drill and competition

In this video, players are encouraged to dribble round and past cones in tight areas, whilst keeping their heads up, the ball close to their feet. They also have to break out and run the ball between gates, which encourages changes of pace and direction.

I like the ideas of bringing in defenders, who also have to have a ball at their feet whilst they are defending, as this adds competition and an additional dimension for the dribblers.
