Close Control

• I can keep the ball within one step of my feet.
• I can use the inside, outside and sole of my foot.
• I can look up to avoid other players.

1. Pupils dribble freely in the grid.
2. On the signal: toe taps, sole rolls, inside-inside touches.
3. Gentle dynamic stretches: leg swings, high knees.

Demonstrate small touches with inside and outside of the foot, and stopping the ball with the sole. Emphasise 'little touches, head up'.

1. Green = dribble, amber = slow, red = stop the ball with the sole.
2. Add 'turn' to change direction.

1. Dribble through as many cone gates as possible in 60 seconds.
2. Must use the outside of the foot for every second gate.

1. Most pupils dribble in the grid; two 'sharks' (no ball) try to gently knock balls out.
2. Pupils whose ball is knocked out do 5 toe taps then rejoin - no elimination.
3. Swap sharks every 90 seconds.
