This is a very useful drill for the younger age groups. It is typically used for those learning the necessary skills to play the game of football. Set up is easily completed in minutes as all that is needed is a grid of 20×20 depending on the amount of players. The coach then divides up the players into 2 groups with all players receiving a ball. Half of the players begin dribbling while the other half roll the ball in order to try hit those dribbling.
