- 1 min read
Players: 3+ | Difficulty: 2 & 3 |
Description: Players race around a circle while dribbling.
Application: Accurately controlled touches while dribbling in a non-straight line.
Instructions
Players A and B start on the center cone, facing opposite directions.
On "GO", both players sprint to opposite exit gates.
They will decelerate slightly, then coach will yell a cone color ("Purple!" in this case).
The players will turn to that side, and sprint around the circle to the ball placed in the outside middle.
The players will take the ball in stride and dribble around the full circumference of the circle.
The first player to return the ball to its initial spot on the side, wins.
Rules
Players may NOT cut through any cones.
Setup
Cone circle at any size.
Single cone in the center.
2 Balls, one on each side of the circle.
A 2 color cone gate on two sides of the circle (for yelling which side to turn to).
Gate colors can be replaced with "Left/Right".
Rotation
Players switch out.
Coaching Points
To increase cardio/difficulty, increase either the amount of laps around the circle or have the pair complete multiple repetitions of the activity before switching out.
Players keep the ball close to them while racing around the circle.
Control and Efficiency.
