DRILL TYPE: Hand-Eye Coordination FOCUS: Tracking Skills SKILL LEVEL: Red/ Orange Ball 1 EQUIPMENT: Cones Red Balls SETUP: The coach is on opposite side of the net with a basket of balls and about 1 feet away from the net. Players are on the opposite side of the net and line up in two lines behind the service line. DRILL: Every player holds a cone upside down in their hands, or if the cones are limited, the first player in each line will hold a cone then pass it on to the next player. The coach will toss a ball for the first player in one of the lines, the player will attempt to catch the ball, after 1 bounce, in the upside down cone. If they succeed they score 1 point for their team. The coach will then feed a ball to the first player from the other line, and so on. The first team to score 7 points wins. NOTE: The feeds should be done based on the players hand-eye coordination skills ( lower or higher bounces). The drills is good for hand-eye coordination and movement while watching the ball. Low compression balls or foam balls should be used with little kids.
