Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
- Cones
- Balls
- Extra balls for maintaining flow
Setup
- Area: 20x20 yard area marked with cones
- Group: 2 players total, 1 starting inside the area with a ball each, 1 positioned around the perimeter of the square
- Equipment: 4 cones marking the corners of the 20x20 yard area, additional cones scattered randomly inside the area for weaving, extra balls placed around the edges of the square for continuity
Instructions
- Players in the center dribble their balls quickly to the middle, weaving through cones.
- Once through the cones, they dribble back to an outside player, who takes over the ball and repeats the process.
- On the second cycle, players must execute a fake move at the center before returning the ball.
- The drill repeats with players exchanging roles continuously.
Coaching Points
- Maintain close control with quick touches.
- Keep your head up to enhance awareness.
- Use deception to outmaneuver imaginary opponents.
- Move with a positive attitude and intent.
- Accelerate out of turns to exploit open space.
- Demonstrate a variety of dribbling techniques appropriate for game situations.
- Mimic realistic game scenarios to develop fluency.
- Practice repetitions using both feet for symmetry in skill.
- Build confidence through successful execution of moves.
Variations
Make it harder:
1. Introduce a passive defender in the middle to increase pressure.
2. Reduce the size of the area to limit space.
3. Add a scoring element by placing small goals on the outside.
Make it easier:
1. Increase the size of the area for more dribbling space.
2. Allow players to dribble without performing a fake move initially.
3. Use fewer cones inside the zone to create a simpler path.
