DRIBBLING 3



OBJECTIVE : Learning to dribble in tight spaces. Learning to react quickly to a teammate.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS : 6 - 10 players.

AREA/FIELD : Grid 20 yards x 20 yards.

TIME : 5 minutes.

EQUIPMENT : 6 - 10 balls, 4 cones.

ORGANIZATION : Each player has a number. Players dribble around freely. Coach calls out a number and player with corresponding number dribbles around a cone as quickly as possible while rest of group follows.

INSTRUCTIONS : Last player back in grid does a task, e.g. push-up. Tell players to use whole area/grid for dribbling.

COACHING POINTS : Make fast change of directions by cutting ball. Accelerate with ball after command.

VARIATIONS : Emphasize stamina by decreasing the length of the recuperation breaks. Call out 2 numbers, follow leaders in even groups. Call out 1 number, leader goes around one cone, group goes to diagonally opposite cone.
