Player(s) dribble from one cone to the other.
They work on taking touches with the sole of one foot followed by the interior of the other foot.
Once a player competes one set they quickly turn and accelerate back to the start before repeating the sequence.
Look for good body movement along with the touches, ensuring good quick steps are being taken to get feet placement in and around the ball.
Knees should be bent with players keeping a good low centre of gravity and heel contact should be avoided.
Demand good acceleration when turning.
Small touches when working on rolling and interiors and big touches when turning and accelerating away.
