In front of each cone-gate, players execute Indian dribble (6 touches left<>right), then carry to next gate around the green cone. Finish with a shot on goal. Have 1 group on each side of pitch doing this drill alternately or simultaneously. Progressions/variations: rollout around the green cones pairs compete to score first. Only first player in the D can shoot. Other player passes back to start ("recycling") First player into the D recycles their ball and positions themselves for a cross from the other player. Add in a defender.
Focus is on: carrying Indian dribble
