Speed-Dribble Slalom GP

Obj: Running-with-the-ball mechanics at maximum speed — the touch-per-stride relationship. Field: 30×20yd; 3 lanes: straight sprint lane, wide-arc lane, slalom lane. Equip: Cones, balls, stopwatch. Org: "Grand Prix" circuit: straight lane (touch every 3 strides, laces, ball rolling ahead), arc lane (outside-foot touches around the bend), slalom (tight both-feet weaves). Timed laps; two "qualifying" runs then "race" rounds. CP: (1) Push the ball with the laces/outside, don't tap-tap — let it run in open space; (2) eyes up between touches; (3) decelerate with sole/inside before the slalom, re-accelerate out. Prog: Head-to-head parallel races; carry into a finish on goal. Reg: Untimed technique laps; wider slalom. Mist: P: over-touching in the sprint lane (killing speed); C: racing 100% of the time — alternate technique laps between races. Time: 12 min. Out: Faster lap times with controlled touches; players learn their top carrying speed. Var: Relay teams; weak-foot GP. Diag: Three-lane circuit loop with straight, arc, and slalom segments, start/finish flag.
