How it runs
Player zig-zags from baseline to baseline changing direction at each cone. Cycle the moves: crossover, between the legs, behind the back, in-and-out. A defender can be added to apply light pressure.
Coaching points
Change speed, not just direction. Keep the dribble below the knee on the change. Eyes up the whole trip.
Scoring
A lost ball means the trip restarts.
