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.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
