Cops and Robbers

.
 
Exercise Objectives:
This is an introductory exercise for dribbling. The major focus is on vision, change of direction, change of speed and control over the ball.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   Area 20 x 20 yards
   Cones or Flag poles
   Supply of  Balls
 

Coaching Pointers:
Select two or three volunteers to be the “cops.” All the “robbers” line up at one end with their “diamonds” (soccer balls).

The robbers attempt to dribble their “diamond” from one end to the other without having their diamond kicked out by a cop.

If their diamond gets kicked out, they go to jail (a designated area outside the grid). If a robber successfully dribbles across the grid 5 times, then a jailbreak occurs and all those in jail get to re-enter the game.
