Every player has a ball, dribbling in open space
  • All players
  • Ball for each player
  1. Review a ball mastery skill together (start with simple toe taps).
  2. Players dribble in open space, avoiding each other.
  3. Every 15+ seconds, have the players stop the ball and perform the skill again.
  4. Rotate the mastery skill: taps, then boxers, then dribbling in a circle with the inside of the foot.

As play progresses

Introduce drag turns (simple pull backs) and jump over turns, where players stop the ball, jump over it, turn around, and start dribbling again.
