Warm-Up (10 mins)

Organization:

- Field size adjusted as needed

Instructions:

- Tails inside the grid. Players start with a pinnie tucked behind their shorts and are dribbling throughout the field. If a player can steal someones pinnie, they then add it to their collection. Player with the most "tails" wins.

Coaching Points:

- Head up when dribbling to find open space and see where defenders are

- Keep the ball close when defenders are near, but take bigger touches and accelerate when in open space or past the defenders

- Use your body to protect the ball when possible

- Correct technique and which touch for which situation?

Main Theme 1 (10 mins)

Organization:

- Field size adjusted as needed

Instructions:

- Players get in pairs taking turns dribbling from one end of the field to the other. When they reach one end, they perform a turn and then dribble back to their teammate, passing the ball to them so they can now dribble and perform the turn.

- Inside cut, outide cut, pull-back, and whatever else players are capable of. Can focus on one turn and have lots of repetition or try 2-3 different turns in the activity

Progress into #2

- In small groups of 2 or 3, players now dribble to each cone and perform a turn using one or both feet and performing a specific turn

- Players don't stop, so once one player reaches the first cone the next player goes

Coaching Points:

- Close control of the ball as we approach the turn

- Technique of each different turn

- Accelerate after the turn and explode into open space

- Using our body to protect the ball as we turn
