Running with the Ball
A ‘timed’ 30 yard run with a ball (the ball must be no more than 2 feet above ground level and/or pushed out in front) 
 
Speed
Players sprint in a Zig-Zag shape over a course, 20 yards in length.

Turning                                                                                         Players have to dribble a 5 yard distance, complete a turn and dribble back and then repeat (to complete 3 turns per attempt).  Players complete this drill 3 times using a different turn for each ‘attempt’.  The time for each event is added together to give a total.


Dribbling
Players dribble the ball as quickly as possible around 4 static defenders / cones and then stop the ball 'dead' at the finish line.

Heading
Players have to attack 3 headers and score into a goal area (one bounce is allowed before the ball crosses the goal line). 1 point is awarded per goal. Targets differ for Under 9, Under 12 and Under 14 players.

Shooting
Players start with the ball opposite a goal post on the edge of the area.  Players have one touch to put the ball into the penalty area and whilst the ball is moving they shoot for goal using the laces part of their footwear only.  Players have 3 attempts from the right using their right foot and 3 from the left using their left foot.  Points are awarded depending on the area of goal which the ball hits and the total amount of points accumulated are added together for a total.
