DESCRIPTION

Set up four cones in a 5 by 5 metre square.

You can have 1 to 4 players working in any one square, each player needs a ball.

Beginners should try and stop with their left foot forward then to push back from this foot and change direction

Some players naturally stop with their right foot and then push off with their left (this should not be discouraged).

Pull back technique:

Confusion:

To improve running with the ball and changing direction players have to run around the cones creating a figure of eight as they go around the centre cone before then running out and around the outer blue cone.

Players must dribble forehand around the middle cone and then reverse the stick around the outside cone.
