Step 1
Pick a starting point. Place a chair (or cone) 10-feet in front of you. Place the ball on (or next to) that chair. Then place the other 4 chairs in that same line spaced 12-feet apart.

Step 2
Start the timer as you leave the starting line. Run and grab the ball off the chair. Start dribbling.

Step 3
Weave in between the chairs, alternating sides with each chair. Keep your head up and switch dribbling hands with every chair. Once you have reached the last chair, head straight back for the starting line. Do not weave between chairs as you dribble back to the start.
