drawing Dribbling skills
  • There will be 4 rows of hats, each spaced 10 meters apart. As many lanes as you have pairs.
  • Each lane has a 2-pair with 1 ball.
  • Players line up at the first 2 rows of hats.
  • The ball is at blue's sideline. This passes across the ground to red. This passes back across the ground and runs backwards to the next hats.
  • Now blue passes with a firmer pass to red. This one passes back firmly and runs backwards to the last row of hats.
  • Then blue passes to red with a high ball and runs himself to the row of hats closest to red.
  • Now red stays on the back line and blue runs backwards to the next row of hats after each pass.
Pay attention to good kicking technique and good ball-taking.
