How it works
Dribble through a cone grid while responding to color/number calls from a parent, training eyes-up peripheral awareness.
What you need
- 6 cones (2 colors)
- ball
Your focus
Dribbling with your head down turns your peripheral vision off. This drill forces you to dribble by feel while simultaneously processing information around you , exactly what playing with vision requires.
Set 6 cones in a 5x5 yard grid, 3 one color, 3 another.
Dribble freely through the grid while keeping your head up.
Parent calls a color (or number) at random. Sprint to touch that cone with your foot without losing the ball.
Return to dribbling as soon as you touch the cone.
Complete 3 minutes of continuous play.
Goal
You've got it when you touch the correct cone on 10 of 12 calls without losing possession.
Helpful cues
- Ball stays within 1 step, tight touch, loose feet
- Head up between the calls, be scanning always
- Don't stop after touching the cone, keep moving immediately
