How It Works
- Place 2 cones 3 metres apart.
- Start at one of the cones with the ball.
- Dribble towards the opposite cone, staying to the left side of the cone as you approach it.
- Go around the outside of the cone, making a 180° turn and changing direction back towards the starting cone.
- As you approach the starting cone, stay to the right side of it and go around the outside, making another 180° turn.
- Continue this movement to create a figure-eight pattern around the two cones.
- Complete 4 full repetitions of the figure eight.
- 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.
