P1 stands in the middle of the cones. P2 calls a colour. P1 moves towards cone sideways with feet coming together (ie not crossing) and then back to middle. Swap after 1 minute. Step 2 Same exercise but this time P1 crosses legs while moving (eg right foot moves to behind left foot before left foot moves out). Step 3 Each time player gets to the middle, P2 to throw a catch.
Helps players to be light on their feet. Helps with batting and fielding, to get movement / coordination of footwork. Keep head level and always looking at P2. P2 to throw catch before player gets into position to practise moving for a catch.
