Games Drill #3B: Cradling Relay Races (North-South)
BEGINNER
- Create a lengthwise (north-south) pylon formation on both sides of the floor and arrange players into 2 lines of equal numbers.
-
- Roll or pass the ball to the next player in line; the next player cannot go until the player ahead of them crosses goal-line-extended. Continue the drill until every player has gone (including goalies – who sprint to centre-floor).
- *Variation #2 (7 min): "Agility Relay." For more advanced players use a scattered obstacle course. Have players use various movements and other aspects of the game that could happen while cradling the ball (i.e. jumping, getting up off of the ground, physical contact, passing; vertical, diagonal, horizontal, and backward foot movements). (Draw Diagram)
- Losing team does push-ups, sit-ups, body weight squats, sprints, etc…
*Most common error = players not cradling tight to their body
