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.

Dribbling

Crazy Dribble Relay:

Four groups are placed at four corners of the square.

The two groups to one side of the square dribble the ball around the square in a clockwise fashion and the other two dribble the ball around the square in a anti-clockwise fashion.

Keep going until all the team have been at least once.

Dribbling

Dalmations:
