Drill Setup

1. Create a 30x30 yard grid.
2. Place a 5x5 yard grid in each corner of the larger grid.
3. Split the team into four groups.
4. Each group begins in one of the four smaller corner grids.
5. Each player has a ball.

Drill Instructions

1. Players should start by dribbling freely among their small corner grid.
2. On the coach's command, players dribble as quickly as possible to the corner diagonal from their starting corner grid.
3. The center of the grid will quickly become congested, so players must keep their heads up to avoid collisions.
4. Players must then stop the ball inside the grid and stand with their foot on the ball.
5. Once all players are in the grid, the coach instructs players to start dribbling again in their small corner grid before calling out to switch back to their original corner grid.
