15 minutes a player start on each cone on the wing, and a player starts on the cone in the middle. the player in the middle has to pass it out to the wing then run up through the middle going through the ladder. the winger then runs up the wing slaloming through the cones/poles. then player in the middle then has to hold their run untill the winger is through the poles to receive a cross. once you have done this rotate about so everyone is using each wing and running up through the middle
make sure players dribble through the cones correctly and that the player uses the ladder correctly also looking for good crosses and finsihing. to advance it introduce defenders/more cones/ ladders
