Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. While doing so, they will act as if they have to stop high balls. Aim for 8 &quot;saves&quot; during each run, and players should go up and down the half court twice.

Ball is passed between players in the order shown in the diagram and video, with players changing positions and moving.

5 vs 5 game (can be played with or without goals).Game 1:Possession keeping game where all passing is with the hands by throwing and catching. Teams score a point for every 10 passes they make without losing the ball.Game 2:Alternatively you can play this game with goals. All passes must be made with the hands (players can't run with the ball in hand) and players can only score with a header.

Two equal teams play with one ball in half the court. Two players who are on neither team hold an elastic cord (or a spare bib/piece of material) to form a moving goal. These two players must run around the pitch, keeping the goal open (stretched out). The aim of the game for the other players is to score a goal into this moving goal through use of a bounce pass.

The players pass to the goalkeeper who then plays a return pass to the player who catches the ball and runs with it to the other end of the court.   Once they reach the other end they pass to the keeper and a new pair start the drill at the opposite end.

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass. Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again. Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.

Everyone stands in a circle, facing inward with their legs spread apart, so that you can touch the feet of the person next to you. Using your fists, you hit the ball further within the circle.Make it harder: If the ball goes through someone's legs, they may only play with one hand for the rest of the game.Space: You can adjust the space by either making it larger or smaller.Add more balls to the game: Introduce multiple balls into the game for added challenge.Variations: Every time the ball goes through your legs, you get a letter from the word &quot;DONKEY&quot;. The first person to spell out the word &quot;DONKEY&quot; is the loser, of course!

Players stand in groups behind different cones. Players must pass the ball to the player opposite them and then follow their pass behind the player on the opposite side. Players can use a variation of passes: Center shot, jump shot (3,2,1 step rhythm), push pass, bounce pass, double handed pass, rolled pass, pass using your weaker hand etc.

Simple pass and follow drill. Starting with two players on the first cone and then one player on every other cone. The first player throws the ball to player two and then immediately sprints to follow their pass. Player 2 catches the ball and then turns and throws the player 3 before then also following their pass. This pattern continues until the player on the final cone receives the ball. At this point they dribble back to the start cone and the drills starts again.
