There and Back:

Group in pairs, with one ball per pair. Station each pair at every other disc. Number the players 1 and 2. Place a disc in the center of the circle.

On the command "one" each player 1 must dribble towards the disc in the center of the circle, around the cone, and back to his partner. Repeat for player 2.

Dribbling

Zig-Zag:

Set up cones in a zig-zag formation. Groups of 6 are stationed on the endline. 1 ball per group.

The dribblers move up, then back down the cones performing inside and outside of the foot turns to get back to their team. Inside of the foot, chop on the way up, outside hook on the way down.

Make it a race between the groups.

Dribbling

Dalmations:

The players (dalmations) are being chased by the catchers (Cruella de Ville). Any player that dribbles their ball outside of the box or has their ball kicked out of the box becomes a catcher.

Dribbling

Figure of 8:

Close control dribbling with the ball. This practice is a good practice to set up as part of a skill circuit where the players pratice lots of variations of dribbling.

Place the cones about 5 metres apart and ask the players to dribble around the cones in a figure of eight as fast as they can.
