HANDLING-DRIVING Chain of actions in 3 squares MCN01

Set up as in the diagram, players execute a predetermined action of control in each of the
3 small squares or zones, in the last of which a gesture can replace a pass. After finishing
the players follow the ball. Various actions can be performed, including the following:1st zone:
step on the ball with sole and lateral roll.2nd zone: touch with instep.3rd zone: Pass.
Others :Roll consecutively, lateral roll and stop with instep of other foot, dribble step on the
ball and turn, dribble pass foot and turn, interior, exterior turn, step on the ball roll towards
oneself and exit interior-exterior, step on the ball pass behind non-kicking foot, 45º turn,…

Set up as in the diagram, payers execute a predetermined action of control with turn as far as
the cones, where they perform a predetermined turn and pass to the team mate in front. After
finishing the players follow the ball. Various actions can be performed (amongst those listed in
the previous drill), in particular one can vary the actions previous and subsequent to the action
of turning, with the possibility too of varying the dribble or control prior to the turn.

HANDLING-DRIVING Circuit continuous dribbling 1 MCN04

As shown in the diagram and animation, players perform a continuous circuit of dribbling actions
of 7 actions, all finishing at the same point where they began. The actions to be performed will
be established previously and performed in an established order. The actions can be performed
in exclusively continuous fashion ,or can be dovetailed with actions of passing and waiting in the
next action. The variety of actions can be as extensive as the coach sees fit, with the following
sequence of dribbles for this drill:1.- Dribble in slalom.2.- Dribble with lateral roll
(lateral protection).3.- Dribble alternating instep and outstep.4.-Dribble in Zig-Zag.5.-
Diagonal dribble with outstep (diagonal protection).6.- Dribble at maximum speed + back

HANDLING-DRIVING Dribbling circuit with relays 1 MCN06

As shown in the diagram and animation, The actions can be performed in exclusively continuous
fashion In groups as a competition, thus developing every type of dribbling at maximum speed.
Players perform competitions with all kinds of dribble with the possibility of constantly varying
the zone of movement .The actions to be executed can be determined previously and performed
in the established fashion, or different challenges can be presented for each player to solve with
the type of dribble he feels is appropriate. The variety of actions, and the route, can be as
extensive as the coach chooses, and may include any of the following:1.- Dribble in slalom.2.-
Dribble in Zig-Zag.3.- Dribble alternating instep and outstep.4.- Dribble with lateral roll
(lateral protection).5.- Diagonal dribble with outstep (diagonal protection).6.- Backwards dribble

HANDLING-DRIVING Shot speed in funnel MCN07

Set up as in the diagram, in pairs one player with the ball when he chooses has to score a goal
with the sole obligation of passing between 2 cones before shooting at goal . The other player
when the former begins the move, and not before, tries to win the ball from him , if he succeeds
in stealing the ball then he can shoot at goal. If the move becomes prolonged the train counts
down to end it. At the end the players change roles.
