RWB and Dribbling technique 2 (10 mins)

Technique 2 - RWB and Dribbling

(10 mins)

Using the spread out blue cones.

Using the inside and outside of the boot the players are encouraged to RWB and dribble through the blue cones at a high speed keeping control of the ball.

When reaching the end of the cones the player can turn and pass the ball back to the start at pace.

Progressions - Ask players to use both feet while running with the ball.

                        Add a defender ( blue player) to the end of cones, instead of passing back the player now needs to use skill to dribble past and beat the defender to the red cone.

                        Add 1 point for every time the defender is beat to red team and add 1 point for every time the defender stops the play.

Regressions - Remove the defender from play and pass back to start.

                       Slow down RWB and dribbling to help keep control of ball.
