Cone drills need no ball — these need one ball and one thrower. Set the cones, run the pattern, finish the catch.
Dotted line = the throw. The ball arrives the moment the receiver hits the catch point — that’s the timing you’re training.
Two people, one ball, a few cones
Three steps to the cone, plant, cut at 45. Catch it in stride without slowing down — eyes catch the ball, then eyes upfield. This is the route that goes to the house.
No coach needed — a parent, a sibling, anybody who can throw. Cones make the route honest.
