    This document provides instructions for three agility training exercises to improve ball control: 1) A slalom race where pairs of players move a ball through cones together. Making the course smaller/larger adjusts difficulty. 2) An obstacle course where teams of 4-5 pass a "hot potato" ball without dropping it. Distance between players and type of pass adjusts difficulty. 3) A 4v4 scrimmage with goalkeepers to apply skills, with rotation of winners/losers and optional mini-games. Adjusting number of touches or scoring conditions makes it harder. Safety and communication are emphasized.

    Agility training for better


    ball control
    WARM-UP: SLALOM RACE WITH A BALL BETWEEN PAIRS

    Organisation
    • Organise the players into teams and create a slalom course with cones and an
    end cone
    • The players take turns to race in pairs, moving the ball through the slalom cones,
    and one player returns to the start to collect the next player
    • Ask the players to think of ways of carrying/moving the ball together
    • If teams have uneven numbers, then they can also move in a group of three, or
    you could make a rule that one player has to go again in teams with fewer
    players

    Ways to make the exercise easier


    • Use a smaller number of slalom cones
    • The players can run by themselves

    Ways to make the exercise harder


    • Increase the number of slalom cones
    • Increase the distance

    Great questions to ask the children


    • Can you show me how you communicate with your partner/team-mates?
    • Can you try to help each other as much as possible?

    Safety tips
    • Create a safe space to play

    SKILL DEVELOPMENT: OBSTACLE RACE WITH PLAYERS


    TRANSPORTING A “HOT POTATO” (BALL)

    Organisation
    • Organise the players into groups of four or five
    • Challenge the players to work as a team to throw and catch ten times in a small
    circle, without dropping the ball. They should pretend the ball is very HOT and
    can only touch it for one second before moving it to the next player
    • The first team to ten passes or more without dropping the ball wins
    • Then create a course for each team to move through, repeating the above but
    now also moving as a team. Make it a race between teams
    • You can move on to having the ball on the ground and the players having to pass
    it one-touch between them

    Ways to make the exercise easier


    • Change it to a “warm potato” – players can hold the ball for two seconds
    • Change it to a “cold potato” – they catch the ball and hug it before moving it on

    Ways to make the exercise harder


    • The players stand further apart
    • No catching: the players have to flick the ball straight to the next person

    Great questions to ask the children


    • Can you show me how you move the ball quickly between you?
    • How can you help each other to keep the ball in the air?
    • Can you try to make sure the ball does not hit the ground?

    Safety tips
    • Create a safe space to play

    GAME APPLICATION: 4V4, 2 GOALS WITH GOALKEEPERS,


    WINNERS STAY ON

    Organisation
    • Organise the players into even teams and create mini-pitches for games of no
    more than 4v4 (have three teams per pitch and rotate or two teams per pitch
    and rotate teams between pitches, so winners play against losers each time you
    rotate)
    • If a team is waiting, it can also play 2v2 or complete a mini skills challenge to
    stay active
    • Just let your players play
    • Give the players the chance to learn through playing and the different
    challenges posed by new opposition
    • Let the players referee their own games

    Ways to make the exercise easier


    • A team can have one or more extra players if you have uneven numbers or a
    weaker team

    Ways to make the exercise harder


    • Limit the number of touches
    • You can place conditions on the game – e.g. ways to score or number of touches

    Great questions to ask the children


    • Can you try to support your team-mates when they have the ball?
    • When your team does not have the ball, can you get between the ball and your
    own goal as quickly as possible?
    • Can goalkeepers roll the ball out to restart play instead of kicking it?

    Safety tips
    • Create a safe space to play
