Listen to your Coach
Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Complete the forward and backward circuit as fast as possible without touching a cone or losing control of the ball.
Setup
Place 6-8 cones in a straight line, spaced roughly 1 to 1.5 yards apart.
Drill Instructions
1. Dribble forward through the cones using tight, quick touches with the inside and outside of your feet. 2. Once you reach the end, immediately begin navigating back through the cones while facing forward but moving the ball backward. 3. Use sole rolls and pull-backs to snake the ball through the gaps in reverse.
Coach Tip
Keep your knees bent and chest over the ball to stay balanced while using your sole.
Avoid
Avoid standing too upright, which makes it harder to react and move the ball backward quickly.
