Set up
- Field
- Build several 8x8 grids roughly 8 yards from the sideline. On the sideline, place a starting cone that lines up with the middle of each grid.
- Players
- 2 or more players. Assign 3-4 players to each grid.
How it runs
- 1.The first player starts with the ball, dribbles to the first set of cones, cuts the ball, and passes it back to the next player in line.
- 2.After releasing the pass, that working player backpedals to the next set of cones.
- 3.The waiting player returns the ball to the working player, who takes a touch and plays it back again.
- 4.Keep the pattern going for 7-8 minutes or until the group is fully warmed up.
After each rep
The next player then begins the same sequence.
