How It Works
  1. Place 2 cones 3 metres apart.
  2. Start at one of the cones with the ball.
  3. Dribble towards the opposite cone, staying to the left side of the cone as you approach it.
  4. Go around the outside of the cone, making a 180° turn and changing direction back towards the starting cone.
  5. As you approach the starting cone, stay to the right side of it and go around the outside, making another 180° turn.
  6. Continue this movement to create a figure-eight pattern around the two cones.
  7. Complete 4 full repetitions of the figure eight.
  8. Rest briefly before repeating with the opposite foot.
Coaching Cues
  • Keep the ball close: Use controlled touches as you approach each turn.
  • Turn tightly: Keep the turn close to the cone and use your body to protect the ball.
  • Accelerate out: Explode into the next section immediately after completing each 180° turn.
