Description

This session is designed to improve players dribbling with their heads up. Being able to dribble with your head up will allow players to see whats around them better. This should then help them make better decisions, improve passing accuracy and knowing when to dribble and when to pass.

Equipment:

Cones, bibs, discs & balls.

Objective:

Split the players in 2 teams. Reds in the middle. Each player with a ball dribbling trying to avoid the cones. The blues are on the outside with a ball each. The blues roll the ball underarm along the floor into the square trying to hit either a player on the ankles or hit their ball. Each time a hit is recorded it is added to the score tally. The reds have 5 mins to try and avoid being hit whilst dribbling and avoiding the red cones. After 5 mins the score is added up and the reds and blues swap roles for the next 5 mins. The winning team is the team with the lowest score. If you only have lower than eight players, put both teams in the middle and the coach feeds the balls in from the outside.

Progression:

Make the cones in the middle active mines. If a player dribbles into a cone they incure a point.Add more cones in the middle or reduce the area.

Key Points:

Ephasise the need to look up and scan between touches.Manouver the ball away from danger.

1st Phase:Spit the blues and the reds equally on oposite corners. (roughly 2 each but may have a 3 +2 or 3+3. Each team has 1 ball and the objective is to dribble into the grid, collect a cone and take it to your team on the opposite corner and put it on the cone. Your teamate on that corner then repeats, dribbles the ball, collects a cone and contiinues to the oposite corner and puts the cone on the cone and so on untill all the cones are gone. The winner is the team with the all the cones collected.

2nd phase: Once the players understand the game the coaches will feed balls in and try and hit players on the legs or hit their ball. If a player is hit they have to return back to their staring position and touch the pole and then try again.

Key Points:

Ensure the players are getting their heads up inbetween touches of the ball.
