🔧 How to set up the activity: 15x15 yard grid marked with cones Each player has a ball Use flat cones inside the grid as markers to change direction (3–5 placed randomly) 🏃 Activity: All players dribble inside the grid using small touches Players must avoid bumping into others Coach calls out “freeze” – players must stop the ball dead quickly Coach calls “protect” – players place their body between the ball and other players Players can dribble to and circle around the flat cones to challenge them to change direction (you could add point scoring for this). ✅ Coaching points: Keep the ball close using lots of small touches Use both feet and different surfaces (inside, outside, sole) Keep your head up to avoid other players and make decisions on where to dribble next
