Emphasis:
Dribbling

Set-up:
Use the center circle or the penalty box.  Place all of your players in the circle with a ball each.

Objective:
The players dribble around the center circle trying to kick another player’s ball out of the circle while maintaining possession of their own ball.  If the ball is kicked out, that player must perform quick footwork with the ball before reentering the game.

Progression:

1. Reduce the size to “half” the center circle when the players remaining gets down to five.
2. Players must juggle 20 times before re-entering the circle.
3. If a player stops moving, they are automatically eliminated from the circle.

Coaching Points:

• Use your body to shield the ball.
• Keep your head up and dribble away from pressure.
