Figure-Eight Dribble — Outside-Inside Flow and Exit
Players dribble a continuous figure-eight around two cones using alternating outside and inside touches, then exit through a free gate at speed.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Set two cones 3–4m apart with an exit gate 6m beyond. Players work individually with a ball, complete the figure-eight pattern, then accelerate through the exit before rotating.
Coaching Points
Keep touches close around the cones | Use both feet | Turn hips early | Lift the head before exiting | Push the final touch into running space
