A dribbling activity, performing different tasks at the sound of the coach. Dribble around in the open space, always looking to find space. At coaches call, move to one of three different color cones. Yellow = toe taps x 6, blue = dribble around the cone x 2, red = boxes x 6
Keep head up as you have to look for the closest cone of color. Avoid bunching up next to other players, keep moving around looking for the space. Freeze at different times, highlight the player in the most space and say well done
