Goal: reverse dribble= dribbling with ball on your left side
Exercise:
* rotation 1-2-3-4-1
* no 3 plays ball to 1 and then start slalom run towards goal
* No 1 receives ball and does reverse slalom dribble. Toes to attacking goal, feet on right side of the (bibs/rope) line. Ball on their left and doing slalom. No 1 ends in front of No 2 = defender.
* No 2 = defender. Defends static and only with FH. No 1 drags ball from reverse side to normal dribbling position and plays back to no 3.
* No 3 when at cone big push on goal.
* No 4 traps ball and dribbles on his reverse side ( 1 or 2 handed) to position no 1
Reverse side Slalom dribble
Reason: normally with dribbling players have the ball on the right side. Yet to develop effective elimination skills, players should get comfortable to have the ball on the left side of their body, with feet forward.
The skill
* grip, 2 hands apart, double V on small side stick (other side dan normal dribbling position)
* ball on left side of their left foot
* feet forward, to attacking goal (common mistake: toes to the ball on left side instead forward to attacking goal)
* stick 45 degrees with ground, thus “playground” between feet and ball.
