Choose one complete 30-minute cooperative practice. These four plans are alternatives, not one long session. Extract the whole ZIP before opening a coach card. Each folder includes three diagrams, a timeline and practice data.
| Practice | Ages | Players | Balls | Use it to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roll a short underarm pass along the ground | U9–U12 | 6 | 2 | Explore a gentle underarm release that rolls along the ground toward a ready teammate instead of dropping and bouncing. |
| Secure a slow rolling feed before returning it | U9–U12 | 4 | 2 | Gather a gentle hand-rolled ball with both hands from a comfortable standing position, show control, then choose a calm return roll. |
| Know when a rolling ball is fully out | U6–U8 | 4 | 1 | Distinguish a ball overlapping the boundary from a ball wholly beyond it, then choose whether to continue or stop for a restart. |
| Agree who collects a loose ball | U6–U10 | 4 | 1 | Agree which teammate will collect an unopposed slow ground ball, while the other gives way and becomes an available outlet. |
The two hand-control examples are closed exercises with named hand-use roles, not demonstrations of match handling permissions. Deliveries are gentle, with no shots, diving or ball contests. The boundary example separates the whole-ball judgement from its local ground-pass restart rule. Check the competition rules before applying restarts in matches.
Check the full written footprint, buffers and supervision. Stop for unsuitable conditions or discomfort; walk through roles with the ball still if a live exercise cannot be run safely.
