Dribbling

Organisation:

 

  • Set up as shown
  • Players line up at 4 yellow cones
  • Start without a ball
  • Each player should have a ball when the ball is introduced

 

 

Method:

 

  • All 4 players run towards the centre (obstacle acts as defender)
  • When they reach the "defender" they drop their shoulder and go around the defender.
  • Once they beat the "defender" they accelerate through the gates opposite side
Coaching Points:

  • Head up: don't bump into other players

  • Close contact: keep the ball close when moving towards the defender
  • Accelerate: Fast dribbling to get away from the defender
