1. Ten-yard Dribbling Drill
Product needed: Soccer ball and cones (rocks, soda cans, or anything that mimics a cone)
How To: From your house, or out in the yard, find 5 "cones" that are big enough to be easily spotted. Space the items you’ve chosen 2 feet apart, in a straight line. Starting at one end of the line, using small taps with the inside of your foot, weave your way in and out of the cones until you reach the end. Using the same foot, the entire way through. Circle the last cone (while continuing to dribble), and with the other foot, weave your way back through until you’re back at the finish line.
Focus: This simple drill focuses on ball control. Slow down and take the time to focus on every single touch, and soon you’ll be able to work your way through defenders with ease!

2. Volleyball Sets
Product Needed: Volleyball, or light weight ball
How To: standing with your feet shoulder width apart, get into the passing position, and set the ball straight up in the air to yourself. Continue to set the ball off your fingertips, and don’t let it touch the ground! Count to see how many passes in a row you can get before your arms get tired, or the ball hits the ground.
Focus: To work on maintaining control of the pass, try to keep your feet stationary. After you get the hang of it, you can try moving side to side as you hit the ball up into the air.

3. Wall Ball
Product needed: Ball of your choice
How To: Start by finding a sturdy wall, with a roughly consistent face throughout. For example, a concrete wall at a nearby school works great. Stand back from the wall and strike or toss the ball at the wall in front of you. As the ball comes back, be prepared to return the “pass” back to the wall. This will help with striking, accuracy, and hand eye coordination. Looking for a challenge? Use your opposite foot, or less dominate hand, or try to spin before the ball returns to you.
Focus: This drill practices first touches, accuracy, and anticipating passes from your teammates coming from all different directions. With the unknown of where the ball will hit off the wall, it practices learning to control the ball no matter where it comes from.
4. Figure 8's
Product Needed: Basketball and a solid wall
How To: Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, slowly weave the ball in and out of your legs in a figure 8 fashion. After each full circle, do a chest pass against a concrete wall, and upon catching the ball, go straight into another figure eight. Continue until you’re able to pick up speed!
Focus: This drill works on hand eye coordination, and quick passing off the move.

7. On the Run!
Product Needed: Ball of your choice and an open field or court!
How To: Whether you’re on the grass, sidewalk, or neighborhood court, cardiovascular health is important! For this drill, pick your favorite type of ball, and choose the playing field accordingly. If you’re playing in the grass, start at one end, and dribble the ball as quickly as you can to the other end of the field, and back. If you’re on the basketball court, run as fast as you can maintaining a dribble.
Focus: Getting your heart rate up and fresh air in your lungs! Quick movements with the ball help you with ball control. Try to keep a consistent dribble on the basketball, or consistent and controlled touches if you’re kicking the soccer ball down field.
