Coaching tips

  • For bag / agility work, prioritize high knees, eyes up, and ball security through traffic.
  • Keep one cue per rep so kids hear the same language every time.
  • Film the first live set; pause on footwork and finish, not just the ball.
  • Pair this drill with a matching play install so practice transfers to game day.
