Shuffle Take - Cones Dribbling Drills for U10-U11

Tutorial

This drills builds on the Shuffle Take (Fast Footwork Drill for U8-U9) and the Shuffle Stop Take (Cones Dribbling 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 right side of the first cone.
2. Shuffle 3 times starting with the right foot.
3. Take the ball with the outside part of the laces of the left foot through the cones.
4. Cut the ball with the inside of the left foot, which counts as the first shuffle of three.
5. After the next two shuffles, take the ball through the cones with the right foot.
6. Cut the ball with the right foot which brings you back to step 2.

Things to watch out for:

1. Always start with the outside foot at your position (right when you're at the right of the first cone and visa versa)
2. Don't kick the ball, but guide it for a very short time.
3. If you cut the ball before or just aside the next cone, move a bit forwards during the shuffle to be able to take the ball through the middle between two cones.
4. Accuracy is more important than speed, so work on accuracy first.
