Dribble/Pass w/ Gates (15 mins)

15 Minutes

Objective: Teach players to work in pairs using passing and moving with the ball. Passing over a short distance. Receiving the ball with the feet.

Organization: 25x20 grid with cones in the corners. 12 gates of varying sizes made from two cones, are set up in the grid. Players are split into pairs and each pair has a ball.

Partners will first pass through a single gate to review passing technique. Pairs will then have one minute to pass through as many gates as they can. The coach should play several rounds to allow players to devise strategies that will allow them to improve their score.

COACHING NOTES
+ Main coaching objectives – players should improve passing accuracy, vision, and receiving the ball with their next movement in mind
+ Coaching tips – players should strike through the middle of the ball, use the metaphor of the ball is an “Oreo cookie” and players should hit the cream.
+ Adaptations – to increase difficulty one pair can act as bandits to try and steal the ball from other pairs
