| Playing .. |
- Mark off a coned grid approximately 8-10 yards x 8-10 yards.
- All players have a ball and start the game inside the grid.
- On the coach's command, all the players in the grid begin slowly dribbling their ball around the grid.
- After 10-15 seconds of dribbling, the coach blows the whistle. Once the whistle is blown, the players leave the ball they were dribbling and find an unattended ball (a ball left by another player) inside the grid and begin dribbling that ball.
- After 10-15 more seconds of dribbling, the coach blows the whistle again and the players leave the ball they were dribbling and find another unattended ball inside the grid and begin dribbling that ball.
- The sequence continues until the coach adds a variation to the game. (see variations below).
|
| Coaching Points |
- Players should dribble so the ball stays very close to their feet ... preferably the player should touch the ball with every step.
- While dribbling, the players should change direction and change speed with the ball, dribble with the inside and outside of the foot and change direction with the sole of the feet.
|
| Competition, Variations& Restrictions: |
- After the coach has had the players dribble and change balls several times, the competition begins.
- In the competition the last player to find and gain possession of an unattended ball and begins dribbling ... faces consequences. (3 jumping jacks or push ups)
- Remove one or more balls from some of the players in the grid and when the whistle blows, the players that don't gain possession of an unattended ball face a consequence.
