Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Complete as many clean two-touch cycles as possible in 60 seconds without hitting a cone.
Setup
Place 4 cones in a U-shape or semi-circle, 2 yards apart from each other. Player A stands at one end of the 'U' while Player B stands 5 yards away with the ball.
Drill Instructions
1. Player B passes to Player A at one end of the U-shape. 2. Player A controls the ball and returns it to B using two touches total with the same foot. 3. Player A quickly shuffles around the outside of the cones to the opposite end of the U-shape. 4. Repeat the sequence using the other foot.
Coach Tip
Keep your knees bent and stay on your toes to move quickly between the ends of the U-shape.
Avoid
Avoid taking the first touch too close to your body, which makes the return pass difficult to execute.
