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

Close control dribble:

Players stand in a line with one ball each and take it in turns to run around the cones (space the cones around 5 metres apart).

The dribbling player should aim to keep the ball close to their feet at all times as they navigate around the cones.

As they approach the centre cone they run around it before moving onto the next cone. Every time they go round an outside cone the next cone should be the middle one.

Dribbling

Cone Sole Roll:

Set up as shown with cones evenly spaced out.

The distance between the cones can be modified depending on your players abilities.

Player(s) dribbles through the cone performing 1 touch with the sole of the right foot dragging the ball across their body and 1 touch with the sole of the left foot to bring the ball back across to the other side.

Dribbling

Dribble and Push Forwards:

Player dribble the ball forwards before dragging it back and pushing it forwards again. The contact with the boot should involve a push rather than tap.
