Focus on spatial and body awareness with respect to the ball (e.g., next to, in front of, touch with your toe, elbow, thumb, etc.). The ball must stay in front of their spot marker.
Begin with spatial and body awareness and progress to basic ball handling (e.g., quick toe touches, roll the ball slowly forward using foot, roll the ball backward, etc.). Control the ball within personal space.
Begin with basic ball handling within personal space and progress to control ball handling in general space (e.g., dribble around 3 cones and back to your home base).
