A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Complete 3 full cycles of dribbling, passing and moving with high intensity before switching roles with the partner.
Setup
Set a line of 6 cones for a weave (1 yard apart). Place a target cone 5 yards beyond the end of the weave. Player A starts at the weave; Player B stands at the target cone.
Drill Instructions
1. Player A weaves through cones and passes to Player B. 2. Player A immediately backpedals to the start line. 3. Player B passes back to Player A at the start. 4. Player A taking a positive first touch to the side of the cones, dribbles fast to the end. 5. Player A passes to Player B and repeats the backpedal move to receive the pass at the start line. 6. Repeat 3 times then switch roles with your partner.
Coach Tip
Check your shoulders as you backpedal so you know exactly where the ball and the space are.
Avoid
Avoid flat-footedness; stay on your toes and move immediately after the ball leaves your foot.
