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 TURNING move and continue back to the cone they started from. Skills: Inside Chop, Outside Chop, Pullback, ½ Zico, Full Zico (NEW)

Set up two fields 15x20 side by side that share a common middle touch-line. There is only one gate or goal on each field. The balls start with the coach who is at the center between the fields on the end line. The coach will play a ball into one of the fields, then the first player in each line will go after the ball and play 1v1 to the gate on that field. Simultaneously, a separate game can be happening on the opposite field. The players must be paying attention as to what field is open, which field the ball gets played to, and which goal to score on. As soon as one of the fields is done (goal scored or out of bounds) the coach will play a new ball into the open field for two new players. Encourage good use of skills learned and proper turns to keep the ball away from their opponent. Praise good use of previous skills learned to speed dribble and penetrate in addition to dribbling to protect the ball.

Hunters (10 mins)
In a group of approximately 12 players, 8 players would have a ball and the other 4 will not have a ball. On the coaches signal the “dribblers” will dribble in the grid trying to stay away from the “Hunters” who do NOT have a ball. The “Hunters” try to take a ball from the “dribblers”. If a “dribbler’s” ball is stolen, the dribbler then instantly becomes a Hunter and the Hunter that stole the ball becomes the new dribbler. Play two or three rounds and encourage high energy from the Hunters to get to the player dribbling.
