Instructions

  2. 2Use inside-outside touches to cut at each cone without slowing fully.
  3. 3Keep the ball within playing distance, never more than a stride away.
  4. 4Increase speed each pass through once control is clean.

What to focus on

Small controlling touches that keep the ball close through cuts.

Common mistake

Heavy touch pushing the ball away from the body at each cut.
