anatomy dribbling

a fun soccer warm up that helps improve basic ball control skills

 

 

Focus: Dribbling, quick reaction

Area: 10 yard square

Players: Any number

Equipment: One ball for each player

Formation: Players dribble freely inside the square.

Procedure: While players dribble, coach calls out a body part such as "left foot". Players put that part of the body on the ball as quickly as possible. Let anticipation build between calls. Body parts can include hand, elbow, shoulder, nose, ear, knees, buns, etc.

Variations:
