Keep the ball within playing distance through every change of direction, then lift your head and finish cleanly under fatigue.

Setup & instructions

Set five poles 3m apart in a straight line, a start cone 5m before the first pole, and a mini goal about 8m past the last. Players queue at the cone. Weave the poles using both feet, accelerate out of the last one, and finish first time or after one touch. Return around the outside of the poles and hand over. Race format: fastest clean run wins.

Setup time: 4 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Small touches: the ball never more than a stride away
  • Use both feet: outside of the right, then outside of the left
  • Eyes up between touches, not down at the ball
  • Accelerate out of the final pole: the burst is the point of the drill
  • Finish low and across: placement beats power from this range

Common mistakes

  • Big touches that force wide loops around each pole
  • Only using the strong foot
  • Head down through the whole slalom, then a rushed finish

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Time each run and race in pairs on parallel courses
  • Weak foot only through the poles
  • Coach calls 'near' or 'far' corner as the player exits the slalom

Regressions

  • Spread the poles to 4-5m apart
  • Walk the pattern before running it
  • Remove the finish and focus purely on the weave
