Dribble to Corners

.
 
Exercise Objectives:
This practice is designed to improve the player’s technical ability when dribbling and running with the ball.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   Area 20 x 20 yards
   Supply of Balls
   Cones
 
Coaching Pointers:
The whole group is positioned in a grid 20 yards x 20 yards. Four corners are marked off with cones and designated with numbers one through four. Each player has a ball and dribbles around the inside of the grid. Players must avoid each other. When the coach calls out a number, the players must then dribble the ball quickly to the corner selected while avoiding other players. First player into the corner wins a point. 

The coach should emphasize the following coaching points: 
  • Maintain control over the ball at all times.

  • Use a change of speed and direction.

  • Keep your head up and scan the field.
