HURDLES




This drill develops ball control and dribbling. You need an even number of pylons and corresponding sticks. Place two pylons a two feet apart and place the stick across the top to create a hurdle. Ensure there is enough room under the stick for the ball to roll. Put at least four hurdles in a row. Each player approaches the hurdle and must pass the ball under the hurdle, then jump the hurdle and recover the ball on the other side.

I used with with a team of 9 & 10 year olds and they loved it -- it's fun, develops ball control, and simulates dribbling in close quarters.
