Below are descriptions of many of the Coerver moves gleaned from far too many
hours watching tapes (Coerver, Busch series and Skills for the 90's) I've used
names for them mostly in order to keep them straight in my head, but the
younger kids like to use them too. I have taught all of these moves to my teams
and when they were U-12s, every practice started with some variation of the
seven minute drill. I have handed this out to the team about twice per year and
added some additional work that the players can do on their own in very limited
space. The version I hand out is specially formated so each topic is on one
typed page, but for posting, I've removed the special formatting and this is
plain text. I hope some of you will find it useful.

The ball is in the middle of this imaginary square. The numbers are for feet
positions, so think of the square (I know it looks like a rectangle) as having
sides about shoulder width apart. The feet are in positions 3 (lf) and 4(rf).
Ball is in middle area. RF steps over the ball to position 1. Player pivots on
right foot toward position 2. Left foot lands on position 2. Player is now
standing on 1 (rf) and 2(lf), facing 3 and 4. After they have this part figured
out, have them carry the ball away with the left foot instead on stopping
on position 2.
15 Full Sole Roll -- Roll the sole of one foot forward over the ball and to the
outside so the ball stops against your heel. Turn and take the ball with the
sole of the other foot with a Step-On.
16 Scissors -- Starting with the ball to one side, step over or in front of
ball so that the ball ends up on the other side of you. Take theball in the

19) Foundation (Bell)
Step up and down to pass ball 4-6 inches between feet. Ball is passed between
the feet with very soft, light touches.
Be sure weight if forward on balls of feet. With each step you should be coming
down on your toes first; then your heels.
Knees stay bent at all times.
Move the ball forward and backward.
Be sure you are stepping up and down; not sideways.
Work at getting a comfortable rhythm.
