Players dribble freely within a defined area. The coach has set different rules and ways to dribble the ball based on signals. Signals can be given by shouting, showing hand signals/bibs etc. For a specific signal, it is agreed that players must score a goal as quickly as possible in the goals placed at the edges of the area. Praise the first player who correctly interprets the signal and scores. At the beginning of the exercise, you can give a couple of rules for the signals and gradually add more during the drill.
Examples of rules and ways to dribble:
-with both feet, with only one foot, by rolling the ball
-at full speed
-on signal, stop the ball with the sole of the foot
-on signal, sit on the ball, touch it with forehead, knee..
-on signal, perform a feint
-on signal, leave your ball in place, get someone else's ball and continue dribbling
