Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Keep the ball moving continuously for 2 minutes without missing a pass or two players ending up at the same cone.
Setup
Place 5-7 cones in a random cluster 5-10 yards apart. Ensure there are 1-2 more cones than there are players. Each player starts standing on a cone.
Drill Instructions
1. The player with the ball passes to any teammate standing on a cone. 2. Immediately after passing, the passer must sprint to an unoccupied cone. 3. The receiver takes two touches and repeats the process, passing to a different teammate and moving to a free cone. 4. Always keep your body open to the ball and shout the receiver's name while passing.
Coach Tip
Keep your head up while moving; don't just look at your feet or the cone you are running toward.
Avoid
Turning your back to the ball or the play while running to a new cone.
Adjust on the fly
Make it easier
Increase the distance between cones to give players more time to react and move.
Make it harder
Limit all players to one-touch passing or allow the receiver to immediately pass back to the person who just arrived at a new cone.
