Execution of The Drill
The first standing player in one of the files starts to run in a straight line with the ball. As he passes the 2 cones in the middle, the other player in the opposite file should start to run with the ball. During the drill you should encourage your players to use both feet while running with the ball.
Variants
This drill can be also done with 1 ball only. Simply, once the player reaches the other file, he should stop the ball by either using the sole or some other part of his foot. The next player takes over the ball and starts to drive it forward. As your players become more familiar with the drill you should increase the tempo and the distance between the files.

6 Cones, 1 ball per player.
The Starting Formation.
Start to drive the ball forward.
Once the player reaches the other side, the first standing teammate starts his run.
Summary
As with every soccer drill you need to encourage your players to perform it with maximum effort. If your players performs the drill right you will soon notice improvements in their ball handling and your team will start to play better.
