Main Phase
The Wiggles
Coaching Pointers:
Divide your players into two small groups. Each player has a ball. Place 4 cones in a line, approximately 1 yard apart. The two teams play a competition to see which team can dribble (wiggle) through the cones first. On the coach’s command, the first player dribbles through the cones and dribbles directly back to the end of the line. The drill is performed by all the players in the group until the last player returns. First team back wins.
