- Utilise the V-drag skill
- Rapid change of direction from left to right
- Drive towards red cone, use large drag to bring the ball towards the back foot

- Emphasis should be put on increasing the length of the drag so as to increase the probability of eliminating an opposition playerÂ
- Final pass is just as important as the rest of the drill
- Decrease the number of players involved in each drill to increase intensity
- Put a time on each run through to increase the pressure
- Replace the line of cones with a passive defender
