This drill teaches players to put a body on their opponent and to move their feet to get position. The players have a lot of fun with this one and it takes just a few minutes to complete.
Pair players up by size or position. For each set of two you will need one ball. Place the ball on the floor and let Player 1 stand three feet away, facing the ball. Player 2 stands directly behind Player 1 and also faces the ball. On the coaches whistle, Player 2 tries to touch the ball within 10 seconds. Player 1 must prevent Player 2 from touching the ball by keeping his body in front of Player 2.
