Backyard Activities - "Cone Dribbling"

Backyard Activities are drills that a player can do at home with a sibling, a friend, Mom, or Dad.

Activity - "CONE DRIBBLING"

Throw some cones (or soda cans, etc.) around the yard haphazardly. Dribble your ball around the yard touching it to one of the cones. When you touch a cone with your ball, quickly pull the ball away from the cone with the bottom (sole) of your foot and dribble off to another cone. Continue this activity for 30 seconds. Try it at different speeds. Build your speed up gradually, but always try to perform the skill at top speed…this is referred to as technical speed.
