Rob the nest - Progressive

Progressive variations of Rob the Nest. Can be adapted to any ability.

Setup

Split the group into two teams. Place lots of balls in the middle of the area. Place cones as per the drawing for starting positions and goals. Teams compete to get the most balls to their goal.

Objective & Coaching Points

This simple drill covers many aspects of the game. Ball control, passing and receiving as well as a competitive element to encourage effort. Work on good habits and accuracy by only allowing goals to count if they are completed properly.

Extension & Progression

This is a good progression from the simple "Rob the Nest" drill. If you want to progress further you can add more stations between getting the ball from the nest and delivering it to the goal. More passing and changes of direction are good options.
