5 mins
Organization: 30x30m grid
Instruction: Players dribble freely around the space. On Coaches call, players must dribble through the grid in the middle and perform a move or a change of direction (introduce various moves/change of direction) once they get through the middle they must look to dribble through a gate on the outside.
Progression: After dribbling through middle players must get to an empty gate and stand in the gate. Once a player is in that gate is closed. Players that do not have a gate must do some sort of technical skill. ie 10 juggles, 25 toe taps, etc. before going back in.
Coaching Points:
Dribbling
Change of direction
Spatial Awareness
Foot-eye coordination
