Part 1: dribble straight across, as fast as you can

Ball for each player

Part 1

Dribble from one side to the other. Go as fast as they can, focusing on going straight and keeping the ball in front of them. For U6, get them dribbling under control with laces. Do this a few times, back and forth.

Part 2

Put down some cones and have the kids avoid them, trying to keep the ball off the cones. This forces more control instead of just going in a straight line.
