Great for warm ups.
Players dribble through the cones, pass to the waiting player at the end of the cones and then run back to touch the first red cone.
They then turn and sprint back inside the red square where they play a quick one-two.
After this they run back towards the start line, looking to run onto the weighted pass from the blue player.
The next player then goes.
There should be at least two working players as, if repeated, this drill can be quite physically demanding.
The feed (from the blue player) can be played anywhere (chest, head, knees or feet).
Rotate player roles regularly.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.
