Phase: Warm Up

Each player has their own soccer ball. Inside a coned off area, each player will dribble the ball using 'little kicks' and trying to keep it close to them. The coach will then say a body part (eg. right foot, left hand, nose, tummy) and the players will put that body part on the ball to stop the ball still.

When saying a body part that involves any part of the arms, ask the players if they are allowed to touch a soccer ball with their arms (to dribble a soccer ball they are not allowed to use there arms).

Progression:

Challenge the players by naming 2-3 body parts which they have to place on the ball at the same time.
