Divide the entire group into pairs. Two players using one ball. Players
work in an area approximately 10 yards x 10 yards or 9 metres x 9 metres.
This drill is not limited to two players, you can use as many or as few
players as you want.
Two players throw the ball to each other
whilst moving at random. If there is no command the player who is
receiving the ball catches it. But if the player who throws the ball
shouts a number (3 for example) then the receiving player has that number
of touches to play the ball back.
Progression:
Repeat drill one, but this time whichever player receives the command (4
for example) has the 4 touches and then passes the ball to the next
player, who if he receives no new command also has 4 touches and so on,
until one player alters the command (1 for example), and so on. This
procedure is repeated until someone makes a mistake (too many or too few
touches, bad control as the ball touches the floor etc.) The better the
player the later the command call, the younger the player, make the
command earlier to give more time for adjustment.
