Set up as shown with cones evenly spaced out.
The distance between the cones can be modified depending on your players abilities.
Players dribble through the cones backwards performing toe taps to get through the cones without touching them, neither with the ball nor their feet.
Touches on the ball should be on with the sole of the feet as the player moves their body accordingly.
Players should concentrate on moving their feet accordingly to get themselves through the area. Taking quick side steps as required and remaining on their toes after each touch.
Look for good acceleration away once the player has completed 1 set before coming back to complete another set.
Get your players to look over their shoulders.
