How It Works
- Place 10 cones in a zig-zag pattern.
- Start with the first cone, then place the second cone 2 metres diagonally to the left.
- Place the third cone 1.5 metres directly forward from the starting cone. The second cone should sit halfway between the starting cone and the third cone in height.
- Continue this same pattern with the remaining cones, alternating between 2 metres diagonally to the side and 1.5 metres directly forward.
- Start with the ball at the first cone and dribble through the entire pattern using only your right foot.
- Once you reach the final cone, turn around and dribble back through the same pattern using only your left foot.
- Complete the full course there and back before resting.
Coaching Cues
- Keep the ball close and under control with small, precise touches.
- Use the inside and outside of your foot to smoothly change direction around each cone.
- Stay light on your feet and balanced so you can quickly move into the next direction.
Progression
- Increase your dribbling speed while maintaining close control.
- Look up and scan your surroundings more frequently instead of constantly watching the ball.
- Challenge yourself to complete the course as quickly as possible without losing control.
