Dribbling & Ball Mastery Drill

This document provides instructions for a ball mastery drill involving dribbling in confined areas. It outlines setting up four 8x8 yard grids in a larger 20x20 yard area with 4 players in each grid. Players work on designated ball skills in their grid and then dribble clockwise to the next grid when prompted by one player's completion of the task. The drill is meant to improve players' ability to dribble with control under pressure while responding to the demands of the practice. Variations include changing the movement of groups and adding passing or defending elements.
