Once they go through they will go back through doing this 5 down and back times then taking a break.
Then the players will do this again but with short lengthed pulls. (this should look more like indian dribbling)
Do this for 5 down and back times then take a break
Next they will keep the ball on the opposite side of the cones than thier feet switching sides of the cones after every two cones.
Do this for 5 down and back times then take a break
Keep ball glued to stick
