Tues. Mar. 27, 8P, Hayes arena
We will be working on the skills of:
Dribbling and turning with the ball

**Warm-Up
1. 20x30 grid, all players dribbling and moving.
2. add 1 D player who tries to kick balls out of the grid, if your ball
is kicked out then join D.

**The 6 Turns
1. inside turn/outside turn
2. pull-backs.
3. step-over 180 turn
4. fake kick with inside/outside cuts
5. Cruyff
6. stop-hop
** dribble and practice turns in zone
Coaching points: 1. start slow, stay low, accelerate away.
2. you don't have to be able to do them all.  Learn 3 very well.
3. practice, practice, practice.

**Pairs
1. players in pairs, 10 yds apart, each with a ball
2. Go - players dribble toward each other (Heads up!), when they reach each other,
do a turn and accelerate back to the start.
Coaching points: keep body between partner and ball when turning (don't turn "into
pressure"), accelerate away, try different moves, use both feet.

**Three player drill
1. players in groups of 3 (1 group of 4), 1 ball per group.  2 players (a and b) at
one cone, 1 player (c) at another 10 yds away.
2. a passes to c (good clean pass!) and then applies light pressure.  c lets ball
past him, follows and controls ball, then makes a turn to fake a.
3. c passes to b and drill continues
Coaching points: clean pass, light pressure, heads up, ball carrier must "feel"
where the D/pressure is and turn away, use your 3 best turns.

**Timed test
1. 2 wide cone gates, 5 yds apart.  each player with a ball.  2 players test at a time.
2. start clock when player crosses first line.
3. player dribbles past far line, turns, dribbles past first line and repeat
(there, back, there and back)
4. time stops when player stops ball past the start line.
5. record scores
Coaching points: keep the ball close, stay low, use your best turns, accelerate after the
turn

**2v2 pass and turn
1. 2 20x20 grids.  6 players (in 3 teams of 2) and 1 ball at each grid.
2. 2 teams play 2v2 in each grid, 1 extra player at each end of the grid.
   a .  b,b c,c  . a
3. team scores a pt by completing a pass to the neutral player at 1 end, receiving
the ball back, turning and completing a pass to the neutral player at the other end.
4. play for 2 minutes, winning team stays (or gets to rest!)
