Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Complete the square while maintaining high-intensity sprints and dead-stop ball control.
Setup
Create a 10x10 yard square with a cone at each corner. Start with the ball at Cone A.
Drill Instructions
1. Dribble fast from Cone A to Cone B and stop the ball dead on the cone. 2. Sprint back to Cone A without the ball, touch the cone, and sprint back to the ball at Cone B. 3. Dribble from Cone B to Cone C, stop the ball, and sprint back to Cone B and back to the ball. 4. Continue this 'yo-yo' pattern around the entire square until you return to the start.
Coach Tip
Push the ball slightly ahead on the dribble to transition into a sprint faster.
Avoid
Letting the ball roll away when you stop it; it must be stationary before you sprint back.
