Set Up:
- Place several gates around the inside of grid, that are about a yard wide.
- All of the players start with a ball and dribble through gates in order to score a goal. They have 30 seconds to get as many goals as they can.
- When the Coach calls out a body part (ex: "knee!"), the players have to stop the ball by using that body part.
- After all of the balls have stopped, ask the players what their goal scoring total is.
- Progress to the coach just touching a body part and see which players can stop the quickest using that body part.
Coaching Points:
- Encourage kids to use peripheral vision while dribbling.
- Make small, quick touches on the ball so that you can control it as you change direction.
- Praise players who can stop quickly by keeping their ball close.
