Same Time (Mirror) Dribbling Skills (10 mins)

Set up cones 20 yards apart. In the middle make a row of three cones or a diamond shape. Have two players at each end all with a ball. The players dribble towards each other and when they reach the central cones perform the same move and continue toward the opposite side.


Skills (be sure to go both ways with each skill): 

  • push w/outside of foot
  • stab-push
  • scissors (be sure to go both ways with each skill)

•What happens if you do your move to early or late?

•What should you do after you push the ball past the cones?

Coaching Points:

  • Dribble directly at cones (represents a defender) before doing move
  • What should you do as soon as you do your move? Accelerate and cut off the defender
  • What happens if you do your move too late? Run into the cones (defender will get the ball)
  • What happens if you do your move too early? The defender will know where you are going
  • What two things must you change to beat a defender? Direction and speed

Be sure to switch sides so that both teams get a chance to attack and defend.

Coaching Points:

  • How do you want to try to receive the ball? Across body with inside of foot so you can see both where the ball is coming from and where you want to go at the same time.
  • When is a good time to dribble?When you have space
  • When is a good time to pass? When the defender is close to me and my teammate is open
  • What should you do when your teammate is dribbling with the ball? Move to a place I can receive the ball (not stand behind the defender)
