Procedure

Set up the circle as shown in the picture. You can do the circle as a single round, or the players distribute themselves on the positions and run through the exercises after a certain time (e.g. 15 minutes).

• Station 1: Coordination ladder: pass ball with right and run forward through the ladder with small steps. Play ball in such a way that you can dribble on directly at the end

• Station 2: Hurdles: Pass ball under hurdles and then jump over. Play the ball in such a way that you can continue dribbling directly at the end.

• Station 3: tight ball control: between the first two cones: Pick up speed, then slow, then pick up speed again.

• Station 4: rings: play ball past the rings and hop through the rings with one leg. Play the ball in such a way that you can continue dribbling directly at the end.

• Station 5: Goal shot. Free shot at the goal. If the ball misses, fetch the ball in a sprint.

• Station 6: Coordination ladder: Pass the ball with the left hand and run backwards through the ladder. Play the ball in such a way that you can dribble on directly at the end.

• Station 7: Slalom without ball: Run through the pole slalom at speed without the ball. Retrieve ball afterwards

• Station 8: Hold up: Hold ball up between the cones to Station 9

• Station 9: Head ball: Play the ball between the cones with the head up to Station 10
