Setup

Pitch: Two separate lanes as shown in the graphic. In lane 1 the cones stand in two rows forming a channel, in lane 2 they are staggered one behind the other.

The drill consists of two lanes, which are completed one after the other.

  1. In lane 1 the players dribble through the channel and back again at the end.
  2. In lane 2 the players dribble up to the cones one after the other and cut at each one.

Variations:

  • Lane 1: alternating right outside of the foot, right inside of the foot, right outside of the foot, right inside of the foot.
  • Lane 1: take the ball along with the sole of the foot.
  • Lane 1: let the ball swing to and fro between the feet and look up from the ball.
  • Lane 2: add a feint in front of the cones and use the arms.
  • Lane 2: cut with the outside of the foot, with the inside of the foot or behind the standing leg.

Tip

  • Keep the ball close when dribbling.
  • Look up from the ball.
  • Start the feints in good time and keep an appropriate speed while doing so.
