Footwork sideways to dive
Cassie Miller
Soccer
Instructions
Line up six cones horizontally. From each end cone place a ball in front of that imaginary horizontal line about a body and a half away. Start at one end of the cones doing footwork through. Once at the other end step and low ball dive to ball. Leave that ball there and start again going the other direction through the cones towards the other ball. Complete 3 sets there and back as one round of footwork. Footwork includes:1) two feet laterally in each space facing forward 2) facing forward again, working through the cones going forward and backwards 3) facing sideways (facing the cones) shuffle (ichy shuffle) through the cones. Once you get to the last cone turn your body back forward before diving to the ball. Repeat until time is up
Focus areas
Primary
Quick and controlled footwork keeping your eyes up, not down looking at your feet moving
Secondary
If starting to fatigue keep concentration on the proper dive techniques. Creat good habits.
