Set up five to six cones spaced out about five metres apart from one another, in a wide zigzag formation.This is an effective drill because it involves using multiple planes of motion while dribbling, which mimics an actual game. Dribble in and out of the cones as fast as possible without knocking any cones over.This is a key drill to help improve ball control. Pro tip: try to keep the gaze straight ahead, rather than down, while moving the ball.
These three drills help to refine that skill. In order to move the ball up and down the pitch and around or past your opponent, ball control-with speed-is important, Fleming said.
