Dribbling Techniques (Stop Turn / Whoop Turn!)

– As the players dribble TOUCH EVERY STEP – GALLOPING with the ball, within a defined area, they put one foot on top of the ball, rolling it behind them and then running bodies around.
– Encourage them to roll the ball, bend their knees and jump over the top of the ball.
– The players can be told that this is called a Whoop! Turn and every time they turn they should say “Whoop!”, loudly (Whoop ! will add novelty to the technique)

Before a Drink
Player place the ball between their feet, jump with the ball still tightly held and then release it while they are in the air.  “Who can catch the ball before it hits the ground 10 times in a row?”
