Suitable for players aged 7-8 years

SETUP

1. Create an area up to 20m x 20m. Modify the size depending on the number of players
2. Set up 3 slalom snake lines inside the area using small cones. Place a tall cone or different coloured cone at the end of each different slalom line
3. Each player starts at the first slalom with a ball

HOW TO PLAY

Part 1 

1. The first player starts by dribbling the ball through the first slalom line. The next player waits 3 seconds before starting after the player in front of them
2. While dribbling, the players should not let the ball touch any cones. At the end of each line, they perform a turn before starting the next line

Part 2

1. Players work in pairs with one working as a server. The server throws the ball to their partner and the receiving player must get the ball back into their partner's hands using different parts of the body. Players serve between each cone on the slaloms and work no more than 5 yards apart

PROGRESSION

BASIC: Change the part of the foot used to dribble
INTERMEDIATE: Bring the cones closer together to make dribbling more challenging

OUTCOMES

• Dribbling and changing direction with the head up
• Receiving, controlling and passing the ball
