Dribbling Competition with a Shot on Goal
Competitive soccer drills: Here you have the ability to work on the fitness, technique, shooting and speed of your players in a fun way. It is always good to have your players compete against each other. Make sure that the competitive aspect doesn't take away the technical work behind it. For this exercise, don't hesitate in being creative in the variations: add another goal, replace with mini goals, add a juggling section... be creative!
