Setup:

Two lines of players facing each other with about 15 yards between them. You may want to have more than one set of two lines depending on the size of your team so that every player keeps moving.

Players will learn communication as a key element to keeping possession of the ball.

Execution:

  1. The first player in one line will dribble as fast as possible toward the other line.
  2. When the player gets close to the other line that player will signal for the first player in
    the other line to start forward.
  3. Then a short pass will be made to the other player and the other player will then dribble
    the ball back toward the other line.
  4. Players should communicate so that one player knows when the other player will give
    the ball up.

Coaching Tips:

  • This is a great drill to teach keeping possession of the ball while dribbling quickly. This drill also helps teach players to communicate with each other.
