We will be working on the skills of:
Dribbling for speed

**Warm-Up
30x30 grid, all players dribbling and moving.
Warm-up moves:
1.      laces tap-tap
2.	Speed Changes with sudden stop, ("Hop-stop" or Magic Hop)
3.	Outside to inside roll right foot across body, touch forward with left foot.
4.	Inside to outside roll right foot out to the (right) side, touch forward
 with right foot.
5.	Skip touches. (Skip forward touching the ball with the front foot, each skip.)
Stretch
Now, moving around the grid:
1.	Fake kick and push outside and Fake kick with cut inside.
2.	Rivelino (reverse scissors, outside push)
3.	Matthews (in/out) - Fake Matthews (in/fake out/continue) - Reverse Matthews
 (out/in).
4.	Half Preki (out-in pull across, kick with inside of other foot) and Preki
 (pull across, step over, step, kick)

**fake and sprint
1. players in pairs, 1 ball per 2 players, player 1 with ball
2. all players on a touch line, another line 10-15 yds away.
3. players race to 2nd line, but 2nd player can't go until first player moves the ball
coaching points: use fakes, off-balance defender
4. player 1 passes ball in front of player 2, then player 1 loops behind player 2, race
to 2nd line

**fake and dodge
1. players in pairs, cones 10 and 8 yds apart
        a
   *1*  8  *1*
        b
2. players a and b facing each other.
3. a must touch outside cone before b touches inside cone
coaching points: use fakes, off-balance defender - as soon as D puts his weight over or
outside 1 leg, explode/accelerate the other way

**sprint w/ D
1. players in pairs.
2. O player on start line, D 2 yds closer to finish, facing O (a bit to the side), finish
is 20 yds from O
3. O decides when to start.  When O starts, D can turn.  Race to finish.
coaching points: head still and forward, lift knees, pump arms front to back (not across
body)

**Timed test
1. cones set up: (use 2 courses).  player stands behind start line.
    x2x  10  x  10  x 5

      5 x  10  x  10  x2x
2. timer starts when player crosses start gate.
3. player runs around cones
4. timer stops when player crosses end gate.

**If time remains, 7v6 scrimmage to open goal (or with 1 keeper).  If D steals must
get ball past "back-court line".
coaching points: have fun, communicate, move, attackers should try to take on a
 D player 1v1
