Everyone needs a ball, especially use different balls!
Set up a dribble course, according to your own idea/ judgment. Below is an example of a course.

You cover the entire course while dribbling:
  • Start in the corner by the pawn
  • Climb over the cabinet and while sitting on the cabinet, dribble a lap around the cabinet
  • Sit down on the mat and stand up again
    • variation: lie down on stomach or back while dribbling
  • Prop up a part of the cabinet and climb through it while dribbling
  • Walk across the bench while continuing to dribble
  • Walk towards the Chukchi, throw the ball into it. Catch it yourself and finish on goal
For younger youth, you could have them hold the ball on their own or dribble in the gaps.

drawing Dribble trail

  • The defenders stand around the mat.
  • The attackers try to push the ball onto the mat.
  • After 3 changes.
  • Goalkeeper stands in the goal or between 2 posts the size of the goal.

  • Run 3 laps diagonally across half the field.
  • Sprint on the sloping sections.
