Some incredibly talented 11 and 12 year olds

Here is a video mostly for inspiration.  If the girls can pick up some of these moves that would be great, but they should definitely keep working on the basics which could eventually lead to this.  You might want to mute this unless you like jamming synthesizer tunes.

Footwork drills

The girls learned a number of dribbling drills this year.  Here are a couple to work on.  The goal is to get the footwork down and then improve speed.  They all know a number of variations of these two drills and can do whichever favorites they have.

Some very basic footwork drills to work on.

This year we are working on the first five drills in this video at every practice
to help the girls develop a good feel for the ball.  I would encourage all of them
to make the time to work on these drills for 15 minutes a night.  These drills
shouldn't take much space and could probably be done indoors if no
outside space is available.
