Fruit Salad (10 mins)

Organization:

  • 15x15 playing area marked with cones in the corners. There are 16 cones scattered throughout the grid. The cones are yellow, red, orange, and purple. Each of the 12 players will need a ball for the second phase. The coach also has one cone of each color in her hand.

Instructions:

  •  Coach calls out a movement for players to perform.
  • Coach can ask players to give “high fives” to teammates

Players start out performing different movements between the cones as a warm-up. Coach can have the players shuffling between cones, running, jogging, spring with change of pace to cone, skipping, giving high fives, and more. 

  

Coaching Points:

  • Main coaching objectives – develop player’s vision and comfort on the ball.
  • Coaching tips – you can make the space smaller to make it more difficult for players or enlarge the grid to make it easier.
  • Adaptations – have another coach or parent also hold up cones so players have more than one person to look out for while dribbling.
  • Physical literacy skills, Dribbling basics, Turning basics, Feints and dribble.

Fruit Salad (10 mins)

Organization:

  • 15x15 playing area marked with cones in the corners. There are 16 cones scattered throughout the grid. The cones are yellow, red, orange, and purple. Each of the 12 players will need a ball for the second phase. The coach also has one cone of each color in her hand.

Instructions:

  • When the coach raises a cone the players have to call out a fruit of that color.
  • Players dribble to a cone and perform 6 reps of a stationary move, i.e. toe touches, sole drags, penguins.

Players then must dribble inside the grid and avoid the cones. The players will progress from dribbling with different surfaces, to performing stationary moves at a cone to prepare for moves to beat a player.

Coaching Points:

  • Main coaching objectives – develop player’s vision and comfort on the ball.
  • Coaching tips – you can make the space smaller to make it more difficult for players or enlarge the grid to make it easier.
  • Adaptations – have another coach or parent also hold up cones so players have more than one person to look out for while dribbling.
  • Physical literacy skills, Dribbling basics, Turning basics, Feints and dribble.
