Setup:
Create a grid depending on the number of players and have each player with a ball inside the grid.
Instructions:
Instruct the players to protect their own ball while trying to "knock out" the other player's balls out of the grid. Players must stay with their ball and cannot leave the ball for long periods of time. Players can only be "knocked out" 2 times where they do 5-10 pushups and get back in the game. On the 3rd time, they are out.
Variations:
* Make players dribble with certain parts of their foot. * If player dribbles out of bounds their self they are considered "knocked out".
Coaching Points:
* Instruct players to keep the ball close and touch the ball often * Players heads should be up looking for other players and be aware of their surroundings *
Focus:
Technical Dribbling, Technical Shielding, Technical Deceptive Moves
