Video Coach your Ball
One of the three SmartGoals indicate to which player need to be passed. The player that passes the ball to the second person has to coach the player that receive it, so this player will know which side he/she has to bounce/turn. Only coach the execution, let the players do the rest. The coach can choose to let the players decide if they turn or bounce, or can determine this ahead of the exercise.
Video Drop-Out
Let the players dribble around in the circle (Variant: let them do different warming-up exercises). There’s no active SmartGoal. While dribbling they have to be aware of the SmartGoal that will light up. When a SmartGoal lights up, the players have to compete who reaches the SmartGoal first. The first person who reaches the activated SmartGoal leaves the game and is ”save”. The game ends when there is only 1 person left in the game.
One at a Ball
This exercise has it's focus on passing. There's only one ball that have to be passed around. One pawn is placed close to the starting point and one is placed at a larger distance. SmartGoals are placed several meters behind the pawns. The player standing at the pawn has to check out to "drag the defender with him/her" by going through the SmartGoal before receiving the ball.
Video One at a Time
This exercise is familiar with the Drop-Out exercise and can be done with or without ball. One difference: The players in this exercise go alternately (one after another) in a specific order. When a SmartGoal lights up there is only one player that has to run. Keep them focussed!
One with the Header
This exercise is familiar with the Drop-Out exercise and can be done with or without ball. One difference: The players in this exercise go, after doing a header, alternately (one after another) in a specific order. When a SmartGoal lights up there is only one player that has to do a header and run.
One with the Throw
This exercise is familiar with the Drop-Out exercise. One difference: the exercise has to be done with two balls, one that have to be passed around, one that has to be thrown around. When a SmartGoal lights up, the nearest player has to get the ball and score. Keep them focussed!
Video The Accelerator
Place the SmartGoals in in a row, side by side. The player has to dribble, with the ball, through the lighting SmartGoals. After one player ran through four activated SmartGoals, the next player has to take over. So the players start one after another.
Video The Busy Dribble 1
The players have to sprint as fast as possible to the pawn in the middle. When arriving at the pawn the players have to decide which SmartGoal (that's lit up in their team's colour: orange or blue) they want to run through. When going through the SmartGoal they have to return at their team as fast as possible. When one returns, another one starts.
