Islands And Sharks

Setup

You will require: 1 ball per player / 35 cones, Create a 20x20 area, set cones randomly about the area, make sure there are more cones than players, 1 ball per player

How it works

All players start on a cone(island) and then start dribbling, when coach yells stop, players must dribble to and stop at a free cone, coach will take cones away every couple of rounds, player is out if they cannot find a cone but must continue to dribble as a shark

Coaching points

  • Head up dribble
  • Change speed
  • Change direction
  • Ball out of feet
  • Scan

Progressions
