Ladders + warm up skills (15 mins)

1 - Half or full field jog, get moving. Dynamic stretches + lunges.

2 - Ladders for agility. Can use sticks laid out on the ground: high knees over, hopscotch, hopping, single leg hops, crossovers, backwards running... be creative!

3 - Stick and ball stationary skills: each player with 2 cones about a stick length apart. Practice big pulls from cone to cone, figure 8s around cones (feet stationary), switch directions etc. Emphasize good body position (knees bent, chest + eyes up). How many can you do in a minute??

4 - Air dribbling: Pop ball up to yourself (no hands, practice being able to lift ball). How many touches can you do before the ball drops?

Dribbling shuttles (30 mins)

Put players into groups of 4 or 5. Have half the players start on one line and the other half of the players 20-25yrds apart.

The first player dribbles all the way across and leaves the ball for the first person in that line. They then go to the back of the line they just arrived at. The player who just received the ball dribbles back to the first line and the drill continues. Go through a few times per skill, allowing each player to try each skill 6-8 times or more depending on how they're doing. Can also turn it into a race if control is good.

Dribbling Skills:

1. Push dribble – Ball at 2 o’clock, Stick stays on ball the whole way. Left elbow up!
2. Push dribble on angles – Strong stick only, on 45 degree angles forward 

3. Push dribble on angles – Using reverse stick to change direction

4. Speed Dribble – Push ball in middle of body and use toe end of stick to get the ball really far away from you and go as fast as possible (flat side of stick faces the sky)

5.  Indian Dribble

6. Lifted dribble

7. Lifted dribble with change of directions

8. Reverse stick dribbling (ball at 10-11 o'clock)

9. One handed dribble - right hand only FAST (ball at 1 o'clock)

10. One handed dribble - left hand only forehand (arm crosses in front of body, ball at 1 o'clock)

11. One handed dribble - left hand only reverse stick (keep arm straight and ball away from body, ball at 10-11 o'clock)

L-drill (dribbling) (15 mins)

Single cones should be about 5 yards apart. The double red cones should be 7-8 yards from the top red cone. Player A starts on the Blue cone. Player B starts on the double red cones with the ball.

Player A leads forward to the red cone and receives a pass from player B. They then dribble back to the blue cone and out to the yellow cone, then back to the blue cone, keeping their body facing FORWARD the whole time. Once back at the blue cone they pass back to player B and they reset. Repeat for about 1 minute and then switch partners. After 3 times each, switch the side so the yellow cone is to the player's left.

*practice receiving across body, open.

***Important that player A is facing player B at all times. Skill should be sort of a side shuffle/lateral pull and NOT a dribble forward and back up

Ball Carrying/goal scoring (15 mins)

Player A passes to player B, Player B carries the ball towards goal through the skills circuit. The last cone should be far enough back from the circle edge for players to complete footwork before shooting (remember LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT).

Vary skills to practice what was just practiced in the shuttles, now in a flow-style drill.

Encourage accurate passes, clean receptions and SPEED through skills.

After a practice round or two, make it a competition between teams: how many goals can we score in 2 minutes??

*If no goalie, both side can go at once.

**If group is advanced, can have the balls be transferred through player C, all the way to the other side.
