Soccer Practice With Cones And Balls Coloring Page

Here is the drill every player knows: a line of cones and one ball to weave between them. The player is caught mid stride with the ball at the right boot and six cones trailing away behind. Dribbling through cones teaches close control, which means keeping the ball within a step at all times rather than knocking it ahead and chasing it. Coaches set the cones closer together as players improve. The cones are all the same shape and should all be the same color, because a coach buys a set rather than one at a time. Orange is the true to life answer and it reads well against a plain kit. The player wears a short sleeved shirt, shorts, socks and boots with clear laces. Keep the kit calm and let the cones carry the brightness, or the page ends up with everything shouting at once. Several cones sit at different sizes to show distance, which is a nice chance to point out how things look smaller the further away they are. Ages six and up.
