Description Of Activity

Move the ball slowly, keeping it close to you, and stop it on the signal

using the inside/outside of your foot, tap the ball along the ground, stop on a signal, and dribble in a different direction
roll the ball, run around in front and stop it
dribble along lines and stop the ball on each corner
dribble freely and stop the ball on every line you come to
dribble around cones spread out in the area in various patterns, (e.g. full circle, reverse direction, zigzag in and out of the circle)
when you meet someone, both stop your ball and give each other a high ve, then dribble the other person ball away

In pairs with a large ball

stop a ball passed by your partner and pass it back
stop a ball passed by your partner to your left/right and pass it back
stop a ball passed by your partner, pass it back and move to a different place for the next pass
see how many passes and stops you can do in 30 seconds
with a ball each, pass and stop without the balls colliding
one partner rolls the ball to try to score a goal (set up with two markers) and the other defends by trapping/stopping the ball; keep the competition fair by adjusting the width of the goal and the distance rolled
