The players start with a ball each in the centre square. The players must complete skills and tricks with the ball as shown by the coach.
On the coaches call, the players turn and dribble out of the small square to the outside cones in order to complete a 2nd turn and dribble back into the centre square. This teaches the players to use small touches and skills and then to explode and use their speed and bigger touches into the space.
Skills/Tricks:
Turns:
When in the tight area's, keep the ball nice and close, taking little touches.
Keep your head up, to make sure you don't bump into people.
When they leave the small square, go at speed with bigger touches to go perform a turn to outside of square.
