Ball handling Drill: "Hot potato"
This drill is used to increase player's ball handling skills on the field. The secret to this drill is having the ball constantly moving around and from hand to hand. The drill is simple and starts by having the player pass the ball around their head, torso, arms, knees, and even between their feet from one hand to another in constant motion.
Coaches can mix up the drill by shouting out body parts that the players will have to start circling with the football; they can also reverse the direction that the ball is traveling by calling, "reverse". This change of motion will keep players from falling asleep, and ensure that you are developing handling skills and not just muscle memory.
