How to run the warm-up drill

Arrange your players into pairs.

The partner in possession of the ball must dribble with it and try various skills.

The second player must jockey and continuously change position in relation to the dribbling player.

On your first whistle, the player in possession turns away from their partner and tries to hold them off.

On your second whistle, the players change roles.
