Split players into pairs with one ball and three cones, placed in a triangle. The feeder stands above the top of the triangle.
Using quick, small steps the worker has to rotate around the cones in a figure of 8 before then receiving the ball and returning it to the feeder at the top of the triangle.
Start slowly before gradually increasing the pace.
The worker should keep their head up with their eyes on ball at all times. Shoulders should also always be square to the feeder, rotating their hips as they move in a figure of 8 around the cones.
This practice links to stage 1 and 3 defending (1 shadowing and 3 cutting off and denying your player the desired space).
Players need to be aware of the body positioning and the angle of their body when moving quickly and carefully around the cones.
