Exercise Objectives:
This is an introductory exercise for dribbling. The major focus is on vision, change of direction and control over the ball. This can also be used as a fun warm up activity with your team.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   Area 20 x 20 yards
   Cones or Flag poles
   Supply of  Balls
 
Coaching Pointers:
Divide your group into two teams. Place a large number of cones around the grid. On the coach’s command, one of the teams has 30 seconds to see how many cones (aliens) the can knock over. The players can only move around the grid by dribbling the ball. They must hit the cone with the ball to knock it over. At the end of 30 seconds count their score.

A point is warded for each alien that is knocked over. The second team the tries to beat the first teams score. Winner is “champion of the universe”.
