Cone weave

Dribble through a line of cones using small touches.

The dashed line shows the path of the ball. Yellow triangles are cones, which can be shoes or bottles.

How to do it

1. Set 3 cones about 2 steps apart.
2. Use the inside and outside of both feet to weave.
3. Keep the ball within one stride of your body.

Coaching tips

• Use small touches so the ball stays within one stride of your feet.
• Use the inside and outside of both feet.
• Keep your head up between touches to scan ahead.

Common mistakes

• Pushing the ball too far ahead of you.
• Using only your stronger foot.

Make it harder

Move the cones closer together, then time yourself over three passes.

Warm up first, train in a safe space, and stop if anything hurts. Younger players should train with adult supervision.
