At cone 1, perform 3-5 kick ups and then knock the ball up above head height (vary the height), control and proceed to dribble towards the group of randomly placed cones. Dribble through the cones, avoiding touching any of them. Once you have got through the cones, drive at cone 9. Beat cone 9 as if it is a defender and drive through gate 12-13 or 10-11. Once you have got through the gate, jog back to cone 1 and start again. Make sure to keep alternating which gate you go through.
