Cone Dribble:

Put out a long line of cones, with 30cm between each cone.

This is always a good warm up exercise, ideal for when you are waiting for everyone to arrive and get ready.

Using both sides of the stick get your players to dribble through the cones as fast as they can with the ball under control.

Practices For Juniors

Dribble Pass and Move:

Setup the practice as shown.

Split the group into two.

Player 1 dribbles up to the cone before passing the ball across to player 2. Players have to make sure that they give a pass in each box.

Passing & Receiving

Passing on the move and score:

This is a great practice for players to practice passin and receiving on the move.

Set out 2 lines or cones about 5 meters apart in both directions.

about 10 cones in total.

one Player starts with the ball at the starting cone and has to pass the ball to the other player through the 1st horizontal channel of cones the the other player receives the bal;l and passes the ball back thtough the next channel, all the way this continues untill the last pass is received and the ball can be taken into the circle and shot at goal.

Video Techniques

Shuffle back and forth:

Set up two cones about 2 meters apart.

Players must dribble the ball from left to right while facing forwards at all times.

To do this they must use shuffle feet.
