Split group into two teams and set up 10-12 cones in a straight line for each team.
Two members of each team line up behind their cones, one on either side.
The teammates dribble their own ball through the cones, being careful to avoid their teammate. At the end of the cones they turn and dribble back through the cones.

2. Close control and use of both feet.
3. Start slowly and concentrate on technique.
