Big Box, Little Box
Players practice dribbling through boxes practicing Attacking moves.
-
One small, square grid of cones
One large, square grid of cones surrounding the small grid
Each player starts with a ball on the outside of the large grid
-
Balls
Disc cones
-
Players dribble through the center grid and then dribble the ball to a different sideline.
-
Players move through the small box to win a point.
Coach introduces a range of foot skills to be performed on the call. Coach blows whistle and players practice:
Stepover Move
Feint Move
-
Add a coach or captain as a light defender to apply some pressure
Add competition- players earn a point if they dribble through the center without running into anyone/losing their ball
-
Soft touches in small box- close control of ball
Bigger touches in big box - run with the ball
Remind students to be aware of surroundings and look up as much as possible
Be creative with the calls you make- you can add in “act like a chicken” or “steal someone’s ball” to mix it up
Reflection: Social Awareness
1. 3 Finger Check-in
Put 3 fingers up if you feel like you've mastered the "Step Over" move
Put 2 fingers up if you feel like you are improving but still need some practice
Put 1 finger up if you are feeling frustrated or need some help
2. Can anyone help demonstrate that move so people can improve?
