Rolling Square

A simple drill that will improve alertness and hands

Drill Aims

A good warm-up to use before a match and to improve ground ball skills.

Coaching Instructions

Two players on the same side sprint to the opposite cone with the ball and roll the ball gently towards the static player. They then loop to the back of that line. The receiving player picks up the ball carefully and sprints to the opposite corner rolling the ball from 2 metres away.

Variations

See Passing Square, Placing Square, Left/Right Pass Square. The coach could call out commands such as "pop pass", "place the ball" or "roll the ball", in which case the players will continue the drill but carry out the order to the receiving player.
