pass/dribble in a square

In groups of 3 or 4:

Ball will continuously travel as shown. Player A starts by dribbling around the blue cone and passing across their body (feet forward) to player B who has left their cone to receive on the move. Player B then dribbles around the blue cone in front of them and passes across their body to player C. Player C repeats, exactly the same as A did. Each player follows to the next cone after they pass, to get ready to receive once the ball comes back around.

*All passes and receptions should be IN MOTION!*

Variations:

- change the direction

- pass off right foot, in motion

- use backhand sweeps to pass (in opposite direction than what is shown)

- lifted passes

slip passing in a square

In groups of 3 or 4:

Ball will continuously travel as shown. Player A starts by dribbling around the blue cone and passing a slip pass (feet face forward, move ball from 2 o'clock to 12 o'clock, then push back diagonally) diagonally backwards to player B who has led forward to about halfway between the red and blue cones. Player B then makes a pass diagonally across to player C and then heads back to line 1. Player C receives the pass and dribbles around the next blue cone, making the same slip pass back to player A who has led out about halfway. Player A then makes a diagonal pass across to player B and the drill continues.

*All passes and receptions should be IN MOTION!*

Variations:

- change the direction: use reverse stick passes

- make box bigger to challenge fitness and long passing skills

rob the nest

Set up 4 nests, one in each corner. Each team defends two nests. The objective of the game is to get all the other team's balls into your own nests.

RULES:

-no tackling (so no guarding the nests, everyone must be trying to dribble)

-can only take one ball at a time

-dribbling only (aka no passing)

-must deliver ball to nest properly and under control (no balls being passed into the nest etc.)

*it may take a very long time for a team to win. If this is the case, set a time limit and the team with the most balls after 2 mins wins

(This is basically capture the flag with multiple balls and no tagging)
