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.
- Goalkeeper stands in the goal or between 2 posts the size of the goal.
- Another person throws, like a Frisbee, several hats in succession toward the goalie. Keeper tries to knock the hats down from the air.
- Variation: Goalkeeper stands with his/her back to you and turns around on command. Then a hat is quickly thrown.

Rules:
Play with a good bouncing ball (hard handball/ goalcha ball/ beach handball/ tennis ball/ volleyball etc.)
Rules:
- You may only touch the ball with your body (arms/legs/feet/head) 2x in a row. After that you may not touch it again until another player has touched the ball.
- You may therefore both play football and hit the ball
- If you touch the ball a 3rd time, the ball is for the opponent (free ball)
Goal:
- Try to score on 1 of the goals
- Scored? Ball for the opponent
Extension/variation:
- Play 2 or 3 balls at the same time (depending on the size of the group)
- Link rules to the different balls
- Example: football only heading, handball only playing with your foot etc.
- Link rules to the different balls
- Vary the places where the goals are placed (mat/duck out/advertising board).
- Vary the number of places where goals can be scored
To improve your balance you can stand in pairs on the sideline and throw the ball.
This can be done with different tasks:
This can be done with different tasks:
- Tightrope walk (feet together, flat on the ground)
- Tightrope walk + toes position
- Stand on 1 leg
- Jumping up and landing on the line on 1 or 2 legs and then throwing up
- Ball goes from the set-up to the middle set-up
- Middle build-up breaks away and starts in towards the middle and passes the ball to the incoming corner
- Corner puts pressure between 2 and 3
- The build-up passes behind the corner at the level of 2 and 3 and finishes in the middle.
- Put everyone in a circle with the ball in their hand and hold it high above their shoulder.
- They start with dribbling on the spot in high speed, after 30 seconds you do another exercise.
- Skipping (2 times on 1 leg then on the other leg)
- Jumping forward (2 legs at the same time) and back again
- Stepping to the left and to the right
- Shuffle forwards and backwards
- High speed dribble
- If this is too easy, extend the exercise by 45 seconds or 1 minute
- All players run through each other in a smaller field (10x10).
- They run the ball at speed, which they do for about 2 minutes
- Afterwards they do an exercise after they played
- Lie flat on their stomach and get up again
- Squat 2 times
- 2 times jumping jacks
You indicate which exercise they should do
- LO a line with ball
- RO a row
- In every deep corner 1 defender
- As soon as the builders start to run, the two defenders move to the middle as quickly as possible
- The team builders who are competing with the defenders are going to pressure well next to the man
- The defenders pay attention to a good defence, stepping out on the player with the ball and immediately back to the 6 when the ball is to the other player
- After rounding on the goal, the attackers become defenders. Do not go and get the ball!
- Defenders go into the deep corner again and two new attackers start
