Players dribble within the field and perform coordinative exercises according to the coach's commands. Dribbling is done with both feet at a relaxed pace.
Knee Stops: The ball is stopped from dribbling once with the left knee and once with the right knee.
Hip Stops: The ball is stopped from dribbling using the hip.
Ball Juggling: The ball is juggled between the inside of the feet.
Alternating Jumps: Using quick alternating jumps, players touch the ball alternately with the left and right instep. Players perform backward movements during this exercise.
Tip
Coaching Points:
Occasionally look away from the ball.
Orientate with shoulder glances during alternating jumps.
Dribble the ball with both feet, closely and variably (inside, instep, sole, outside).
