OFTEN USED WITH...

Drag and Push Pass with Forward Dribble:

Get players working in two's coming forward, dragging and pushing the ball before dribbling forward and passing the ball across. This drill builds confidence and will show holes in technique.

Passing and Receiving

Dribble and turn 1 - Right foot only:

With a ball each players dribble the ball around the area with their right foot only.

Dribbling

Close control dribble:

Players stand in a line with one ball each and take it in turns to run around the cones (space the cones around 5 metres apart).

The dribbling player should aim to keep the ball close to their feet at all times as they navigate around the cones.

As they approach the centre cone they run around it before moving onto the next cone. Every time they go round an outside cone the next cone should be the middle one.

Dribbling

Crazy Dribble Relay:

Four groups are placed at four corners of the square.

The two groups to one side of the square dribble the ball around the square in a clockwise fashion and the other two dribble the ball around the square in a anti-clockwise fashion.

Keep going until all the team have been at least once.
