Drop Step Cones

• Cones set up in a triangle, each cone at least 20 feet apart
• Coach stands 10 feet in front of the cone at the point of the triangle, players each have a ball, in a line behind the coach
• Player tosses coach their ball and sets up in defensive position directly behind the point cone facing the coach
• Coach points over the player’s right or left shoulder to dictate direction of drop step
• Player takes a drop step straight back in that direction, stepping back with the foot on the side the coach pointed to, and stays to the inside of the cone in that angle
• Coach throws a fly ball out in front of the player past the cone, player catches fly ball and runs to the back of the line with the ball in their glove
• Players should rotate through the line so that they each receive 10 repetitions, coach should alternate drop step directions
