You do not need a new drill every practice. Learn these twelve, then adjust the space, scoring, speed, or number of players while keeping the purpose clear.
Get players touching a ball, moving, and ready to learn.
Simplify one movement briefly before adding a real read.
Practice a real read or decision with a clear outcome.
Test the skill in scoring, rallies, and team play.
