Body
Around the World – Set out four or
five cones in a large area. Have in mind either local cities or countries
of the world. Name each cone and then have the players dribbling inside
the area. On command they must dribble around the country/city that you
name. Also name several countries/cities at one time.
Running Bases - Players try to
dribble their ball without being tagged. If they get tagged, they exchange
places with the tagger. Have taggers carry a pinnie to distinguish
themselves. Hand pinnies over to the player that is tagged and use their
ball to dribble. Players are safe in any one of the 4 bases. Only one
player allowed in a base at one time. If a new players enters a base, the
old player must leave.
Relay Races – Set up 3 or 4
courses so that each team only has 3 or 4 players in it. Initially have
the players run the coarses without a ball. Then add in a ball and add
restrictions. Dribbling with left foot, right foot, rolling the ball.
Application
4v4 dribbling – setup a 4v4 game,
allow players to score either by dribbling across endline or by shooting
the ball through a single small goal. Give double points for dribbling
across the endline.
