Initial setup. 4 cones positioned in a straight line. Outer cones should be roughly 12m apart. One inner cone should be roughly 1m from outer cone, second inner cone should be roughly 2m from outer cone.
Attacker tries to touch outer cone before defender can touch corresponding inner cone.
Attacker can fake and change direction at any time. This means defender should be ready for these changes and thus not over commit in any direction. As ability and understanding improve, defenders can look to position their body between attacker and the closer cones. This prevents the attacker from running straight at the cone.
