Ball Mastery Dribbling Circuit

Start by placing down one cone, and placing down cones 5 yards away from that cone creating a “+” on the ground. Start on the center cone and shuffle to one side, then shuffle back to the middle and back peddle to the cone behind you, then sprint back to the middle and shuffle to the other side, and then shuffle back to the center and sprint through the cone in front of you. Repeat for the given amount of reps.
