DESCRIPTION

Players dribble the ball inside the 9m line.

They are not allowed to touch any other player, if they do then both players receive a penalty point.

COACHING POINTS

Make sure that when dribbling the ball bounces at a height that is between the hip and the chest.

Dribble with the ball in front of the body instead it being slightly to the side.

Players must keep an eye on the ball as well as their fellow team mates to avoid collisions.

Progression:

Players can only dribble with their left hand/ right hand/ alternating hands.

Dribbling duel:

One player dribbles while their partner tries to get the ball from them.

To start with players should only be shadowing one another - not actively trying to tackle the ball.

Once players have become more confident at dribbling and shadowing you can then allow the defender to try and win the ball.

dribbling transport:

Two teams with an equal amount of balls.
Aim of the game is to get the balls across the field to the other side, doing so by dribbling.

When dribbling a defender tries to snatch the balls away.
When your ball is snatched you must go back to the starting point and try again.

Which team succeeds to get 5 balls across ?

All players except for two defenders are dribbling inside a half-court area.

The two defenders start tagging the other players. Once tagged players must put their ball aside and help the taggers.

The last player dribbling is the winner.
