A short spoken walk-through of this drill.

Goal
Successfully curve the ball around the cone line and into the side netting without hitting the cones.
Setup
Place 7 cones in a curved arc from the penalty spot toward each post. Player A stands on the wing with balls; Player B stands near the edge of the box.
Drill Instructions
1. Player A passes a ground ball across the box toward the penalty spot. 2. Player B runs parallel to the goal line to meet the ball. 3. Player B uses the inside of the foot to wrap around the side of the ball, curving it around the cone arc and into the corner. 4. Complete 10 reps, then switch sides.
Coach Tip
Lock your ankle and follow through across your body to maximize the spin.
Avoid
Striking the ball dead-center, which results in a straight shot with no bend.
