Take Stop Scissor - Cones Dribbling Drills for U8-U9

Tutorial

This drills builds on the Take Stop (Cones Dribbling Drill for U8-U9) and the Take Stop Scissor (Static Ball Control Drill for U8-U9).

When starting with the right foot:

(Switch left and right below when starting with the left foot)

1. Take position on the left side of the first cone.
2. Take the ball through the middle of the first cones with the right foot.
3. Once through the cones, step on the ball with the right foot.
4. Move the right foot around the ball from left to right (clockwise).
5. The right foot becomes the support foot.
6. Take the ball with the left foot through the cones.
7. Step 1-6 is the same for the left foot.

Things to watch out for:

1. The take move through the cones is crucial. Guide the ball a bit, don't kick it.
2. Keep the force and angle of the takes consistent.
3. Try to aim for the middle between cones and keep a 45° angle. It is more of a zig-zag through the cones than going around the cones.
4. Stay in the rhythm by repositioning the support foot or by jumping on it.
