Setup
Stagger cones in a zig-zag from baseline to baseline.
How it works
- 1Dribble at speed to the first cone with your outside hand.
- 2Plant, change direction with a crossover and push to the next cone.
- 3Repeat to the end of the court and jog back.
- 4Use a different move each trip: crossover, between the legs, behind the back, spin.
Coaching points
- โChange of pace beats change of direction alone.
- โStay low as you plant.
Variations
- Add a defender (1-on-1 zig-zag) who can only slide.
