Zig Zag Run Backwards | Speed Footwork

Zig Zag Run Backwards:

Players run backwards as fast as they can (while balanced!) through the slalom, running around each cone as closely and quickly as possible.

You can vary this drill so that players must also bend down and touch each cone before moving onto the next one.

This is important that both players pay attention to avoid any collisions.
