There and Back:

Group in pairs, with one ball per pair. Station each pair at every other disc. Number the players 1 and 2. Place a disc in the center of the circle.

Dribbling

Run the Ball:

One ball per group of 4.

Player 1 dribbles the ball to the second line, stopping the ball on the second line with the sole of their foot.

Player 1 then passes the ball to player 3 and follows their pass to join player 4 on the end line.

Player 3 dribbles to the second line in the other direction and repeats the routine. Continue until players return to their original starting positions.

Dribbling

Sticky Donut:

A player dribbles around the outside of the cones, when he tags someone he shouts sticky donut. The two players then dribble around the circle in opposite directions. The first player to get back on the vacant gate fills the spot. The other player dribbles on and repeats the exercise.

Dribbling

Stealth Dribble:

Station 1 player on each end line and a lone defender in the middle of the area. Repeat in 3 other areas for a total of 12 players. The outer players each have a ball.

The object of the game is for the outer players to get over the middle line without losing the ball to the middle player. The middle player can only move along the line between the cones. If the defender wins the ball, then the attacking player and defender change places and roles. Keep score of how many times a player can get over the line without losing the ball.
