• Start with four cones in a square pattern, each 5-7 yards apart
• Begin on the right side of cone 1 and sprint to cone 2
• Stay to the outside of the cone and sprint to cone 3
• Sprint around the outside of cone 3 to cone 4
• Stay to the outside of cone 4 and sprint to the finish line

Days per week: 2 / Reps: 2-4 / Rest: 1-1.5 minutes

Variations: Scramble starts (start on your stomach, back, etc.); use a different skill in each leg of the drill (shuffle, backpedal, carioca, etc.); change the distance of the cones; change your running direction and cut.

Seasonal Transitions:

• During fall ball, just sprint around the cones in a square; work up to different patterns and rest 1-1.5 minutes
• During January ball, use more complex patterns and rest 40-45 seconds

Benefit: The 4-Corner Drill is key because of the variations and progression you can have with it.

Key Points: Quick, clean change of direction; drop your hips when cutting around cones
