4-Cone Dribbling with Feints

  • Age U6 - U13
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

  • 20 cones
  • Up to 4 groups positioned at the starting points

Procedure

Run 1: Players run the designated path from cone to cone in a zigzag pattern to get oriented without the ball.

Run 2: Players now dribble the designated course with the ball at their feet.

Run 3: Like Run 2, but before each cone, they perform an inside cut feint followed by an outside cut feint.

Run 4: Like Run 2, but before each cone, they perform a inside spin feint followed by an outside spin feint.

Run 5: Like Run 2, but before each cone, they perform an outside spin feint followed by a pull-back behind their standing leg.

Run 6: Like Run 2, but with a combination of various techniques as directed by the coach.

Tip

  • While each player dribbles individually, they encounter each other before the cones and must briefly take their eyes off the ball to avoid collisions.
  • Ensure that all exercises are performed with both feet.
