• To improve shooting on the run and under pressure

How to Play:

• Divide players into 4 groups – 2 groups of attackers & 2 groups of defenders as shown.
• 1 Attacker in each group hops/solos the ball through the poles, when they reach their final pole 1 defender from each group leaves their cone and attempts to dispossess the attacker before they can shoot/score.
• Rotate attackers & defenders after 5 minutes

Progression

• Attackers must shoot for goal.
• Impose conditions e.g. attackers must shoot from outside a certain distance.
