1st Drill x10
Touch the ball only with the inside of your feet. Two touches each foot while weaving in and out of the cones.

Weaving in and out of the cones using just the outside of your feet. Two touches each foot to get by a cone then two touches of the other foot and so on.
3rd Drill x10
Weaving in and out of the cones using two touches per foot but this time first outside then inside and switch every cone. For example, push the ball with the outside of your right foot, then with the inside of your right foot in between the first two cones, then outside of your left then inside of your left across the 2nd and 3rd cone and so on.
18-20min
You guessed it! Juggle the ball in the air for 2min to end the workout. You may be a little fatigued and this is where your concentration plays a factor so try and keep the ball up for as long as possible of the 2 minutes.
This is the best soccer training skills workout you will find for improving your footwork and keeping it at a high level.
Note: If you're leading this workout and there are a number of you, in between drills or during you can yell out movements and assign numbers to them. Such as, "when I say 1 sit on the ball and get back up and continue." "When I say 2 stop your ball and switch balls with a partner." etc.
