FITNESS BALL

Exercise Objectives:
This is a simple anaerobic fitness drill with the ball that simulates a player running for the ball.
Field Preparation
Area approximately 10 x 20 yards, Small group of players, Cones and balls.
Coaching Pointers:
From the starting line, one player starts the exercise by playing a ball out toward the cone at the opposite side of the grid. The next player in line must sprint after the ball and prevent it from going past the cone. The player turns with the ball as quickly as possible, dribbles the ball back with speed, and passes to the next server in line. Players alternate serving and sprinting. This exercise provides a change for the players rather than traditional sprints. Often players will sprint harder when chasing a ball.
Variations:
Players chase a bouncing ball.
Players pass immediately after turning.
After turning, players perform a "give & go" pass.
