PART I:

-Players are introduced to Messi and Ronaldo touches, choosing the correct time for each, ie close spaces use messi touches, open space use ronaldo touches.

-After a few minutes, challenge is introduced. Players now race to 50+ touches using Messi, Ronaldo, or a combination of the two.

PART II:

-Players dribble throughout area using any part of foot and wait for different commands

1) Change-When coach shouts change players must leave their ball and find a new one

2) Outside- When coach yells outside all players must dribble out of the boundary stop the ball and come back in.

3)Incorporate static ball-mastery such as toe taps, stationary scissors, etc

4) Can end with game where after every switch, a ball is taken out of the field, continually decreasing to where there is only one ball left and winner is the one who gets to it first.

Coaching Points:
