4 Cones Shaped like a T (the top 3 ones are 5 metres apart) One student starts with the ball at cone 1 and dribbles to cone two, then 3 and 4 in a clockwise manner. Once the student reaches cone 4 they must go around cone 2 (the middle cone) and dribble back to the start. The first run will be a practice run individually. After each student has had a practice run their will be students dribbling one after another when they see that the person in front of them have reached cone 2. Challenge- Time limits to complete the course individually and 1v1 challenges.
Keeping the ball as close to your feet as possible. Eyes on the ball. Tight turns around the cones.
