Set up 3 gates on each side as shown.
The blue team run through the blue gates and the red team run through the red gates.
Players run with the ball through all the gates, round the last cone and then bring the ball back.
The first player to get back wins a point for their team.
Look for good close control when near the gates.
Allow players to enter/exit the gates how they like (freedom of expression/creativity).
Look for bigger touches in between the gates.
Are your players getting the ball out of their feet and accelerating away after turning through the gate.
Variations:
Manipulate the distance between cones depending on the type of fitness work you want to achieve from your team.
You might also like to insert a section in the middle where the players have to perform some exercises (Such as press ups, star jumps, sit ups etc) before passing the ball off to the next person (however this may slow the drill if you are doing a race).

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. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
