The blue players must pass the ball between themselves with the intention of stretching the defenders as much as possible. When the center left two attacking players have the ball (blue 4 and 3) the first defender (red 1) covers the space.When the center right two players have the ball (blue 3 and 5) it is the second defender's (red 2) responsibility to cover the space. The defender who is not immediately defending should shuffle over to make sure that the defence is not leaving large gaps. The outlets are the left wing and right wings where the defenders can not go.

Players lean on their heels and hands, with their fingers pointing towards their feet. Arms should be stretched underneath shoulders and pelvis raised so that their body is in one line.

Five players from the attacking team position themselves around the goal area line so that they stretch the defenders. Each of them should be man-marked from a distance by the five white players. The attacking blue players pass the ball in the following order:<br />Blue1 - Blue2 - Blue3 - Blue4. After passing the ball blue1 runs to the center and sets a screen in front of Blue6. Blue4 now has a decision to make. They can:<br /><br />- Take the shot themself<br />- Pass to Blue1<br />- Pass to Blue6<br />- Pass to Blue5 From this point the drill is live.

In a sitting position, players stretch and close their legs while continuously bouncing the ball, for example, once on the left, then in the middle, and then on the right.Variations:Vary the number of bounces: 2x left, 3x middle, 2x right, etc.To make it more challenging:Perform the exercise with legs lifted in the air.Replace verbal cues like &quot;left&quot; or &quot;right&quot; with one or two whistle signals.Follow the rhythm of the trainer, who demonstrates the dribbling pattern.

Play a normal full pitch game with the following condition:One attacker on both teams must stay in the offensive half of the pitch at all times.This will result in a one man overload when teams are attacking and will promote fast breaks.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. While doing so, they will act as if they have to stop high balls. Aim for 8 &quot;saves&quot; during each run, and players should go up and down the half court twice.

Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards. Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread. The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the 'weak' foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.

Pairs stand a couple of meters apart from one another and pass the ball to one another. Players can see how many times in a row they can pass without making a mistake. Alternatively players can take a small step back after each successful couple of passes - see which players can pass successfully from the greatest distance.

Five players from the attacking team position themselves around the goal area line so that they stretch the defenders. Each of them should be man-marked from a distance by the five white players. Starting with the ball on the left side of the court players pass to their right, trying to draw the defender to be drawn out of position before passing the ball on again. Blue players 6 should set up a back screen in front of the fourth defender. Once the ball reaches player 4 they should dribble forwards and wait and see if defender 4 comes towards them - if the defender stands still, marking blue 6, then blue 4 should shoot on goal. If the defender moves forwards then they should pass to player 6 for them to shoot instead.

In this drill blue 2 is the feeder (devil's advocate). Their job is to pass the ball in between the defender and the attacker on both sides of the court. Whoever is first to the ball must pass the ball back to the feeder and return to their starting point.

1. 10 meter running:<br /><br />Between 2 lines spaced 10 metres apart get your keepers to run 2 sets of 6 runs.<br /><br />You can mix this up by getting players to run a mixture of -<br />Forward runs, Backward runs, Sprints, Side-steps and Crossovers<br /><br /> 2. Flexibility - Straddle stretch:<br /><br />Stand upright with arms out to the side and touch your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left arm. Players should keep their arms and legs straight and bend and rotate their torso to touch their feet. Repeat 10 times on both sides. <br /><br />Stand upright with arms slightly in front and out to the side. Keepers must raise their feet to try and touch their hands. Left foot to left hand and right foot to right hand. Repeat 10 times on both sides.<br /><br />3. Improving Reactions<br /><br />Player A stands behind player B who sits on the floor. Player B puts their arms out wide at shoulder height. Player A drops the ball in front of B, who must catch the ball with their legs. Repeat 10 times and then swap roles.<br /><br />Place two benches on their sides, with the top side in-court on a small playing area (approx 3-5 meters). <br /><br />A tries to score with a tennis ball by getting their balls to hit the flat side of the bench. B must try to block as many balls as possible. A throws 30 balls and then players swap roles. Which keeper has the better record?<br /><br />4. Power<br /><br />Get players to lie on the floor on their back. In this position players must sit up and touch their left foot with their right hand and then touch their right foot with their left hand. Repeat 15 times on each side.<br /><br />Squat down low and walk like a frog for 15 meters. Repeat 3 times.<br /><br />Hampelmann (jumping jacks - raise arms and legs). Try to raise the leg you jump off as high as possible. Repeat 5 times for - Hampelmann left, squat jump, Hampelmann right.

Pass B1-B2-B3 who crosses with B4, pass to B1 who runs to the center and throws at the goal.

Player A takes a ball, dribbles and tries to score a goal. Then sprints to the next ball in the center and acts in the same way. The same happens on the left.Defender 1 defends the goalshots actively9 shots is one series.

- catch ball at chest height<br />- hand behind the ball, fingers pointing upward<br />- upper body towards the direction in which you want to pass<br />- strech arm with ball WITHOUT stretching it backwards first - so push it away to your team mate
