Traffic Lights
The set up A 20 by 20 yard square with each side being made up of button cones. You will need enough balls for each player to have one each. Traffic Lights – from the FA Level 1 – coach needs three button cones, one red, one yellow , one green. The players are invited to dribble their football around the square at their own pace, then introduce the red cone – when held up by the coach means ‘Stop with your foot on the ball’, continue the dribbling, introduce the Yellow cone – means ‘turn’ (or do a step over or whatever coach chooses) so when the coach holds up the yellow cone the players must turn and move in the opposite direction (you could even specify a particular type of turn here if you wanted to), introduce the green cone – means go – i.e. accelerate forward into space so long as it is safe to do so. Once the player have been briefed on the meaning of each cone its just a matter of cycling through them as you see fit. No verbal commands from the coach just the holding up of the cones – also the coach should move positions – idea is that the players have to look up not just down at the ball.
