Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
The goal is to maintain tight control through the weave and show a clear, visible explosion of speed once the weave is finished.
Setup
Place 5-6 cones in a straight line 1 yard apart. Place one final 'sprint cone' 10 yards past the end of the line.
Drill Instructions
1. Dribble through the cones using quick, small touches with both feet. 2. As soon as you clear the last cone in the line, take a larger 'prep touch' forward. 3. Immediately accelerate to 100% sprint speed until you reach the final cone.
Coach Tip
Think 'slow feet, fast feet.' Be dancing through the cones, but turn into a sprinter the moment you hit the open space.
Avoid
Don't keep taking small touches after the cones; you need to push the ball out to run onto it.
