Speed Dribble

Objective

Dribble at full speed in a straight line while maintaining control.

Equipment

• Ball
• Cones

Instructions

1. 1

   Place two cones 30 yards apart.

2. 2

   Sprint with the ball from one cone to the other, pushing it slightly ahead with each stride.

3. 3

   Walk back as recovery. Repeat 8 times.

4. 4

   Focus on touching the ball every two to three strides.

Coaching Points

• ✓ Push the ball forward with the laces or outside of the foot — not the toe.
• ✓ Keep your head up to see where you are going.
• ✓ The ball should feel like an extension of your stride, not a separate action.

Age Notes

Variations

• → Race a partner side-by-side for competitive pressure.
• → Add a U-turn at the far cone to combine speed dribbling with a tight turn.
