Children split into 5 or 6 groups, each group has a hockey stick, ball and line of cones in the grid assigned to them. Different combinations of dribbling are then called out by the coach, for example: 'Dribble out and turn around the blue cone' or 'Dribble in and out of all the cones on the way out, but not on the way back'. After a few practices of different combinations, introduce a competition element. On all combinations, have each child sit down once they have taken their turn.
