Pattern Dribbling:
- For every 6-8 players, set up 25x25 yd grid, using additional cones to create smaller squares in each corner
-Players start at center of grid with balls. Coach assigns name to each corner box (numbers, colors, states, characters, etc.)
-Coach calls out name of box and each player must dribble to that box and race back to center
-Call different sequences to get players to move in different patterns and directions
Coaching points:
- Small touches when in tight spaces
-Bigger touches at speed when racing back to center
-Head up to locate box and avoid collisions

Tail Tag:
- Every player has a ball and pinnie tucked into the back of their shorts (to make a tail)
- Players dribble around while trying to pluck tails from other players while trying to prevent their tail from being plucked
-When they take someone's tail, they can tuck it next to their own
-If player loses tail, they keep playing while trying to pluck other's tails
Coaching Points:
-Encourage players to get involved by trying to pluck tails, not just preventing
- Heads up and looking around for tail stealers
-Keep the ball close at all times

Body Part Dribbling
Body Part Dribbling:
- Coach tells players that when you yell out a body part, it becomes magnetized to the ball, and they must touch that body part to the ball- Fast!
- To start, all players randomly dribble around grid while coach calls out different body parts: foot, knee, elbow, stomach (no face touches)
Coaching Points:
-Encourage small touches to keep the ball close
-Point out and positively reinforce when players find different ways to touch the ball
