Coaching Pointers:
The group is positioned in a grid 20 yards x 20 yards. Each player has a ball. The practice starts with the players dribbling their ball freely around the inside of the grid. The players must instantly react to a series of commands
from the coach.
The commands are;
Stop – Players must stop the ball using the sole of the foot.
Turn – Players must change direction 180 degrees.
Step Over – Players perform a step over move over the ball.
Fake – Players must fake to pass or cross the ball.
Explode – Players must change speed rapidly into an open area.
Players must avoid colliding with other teams within the grid.
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.
-
Use a variety of foot surfaces to manipulate the ball.
