Description
A player who watches the ball does not stop because you keep telling them to look up. They stop when looking down is no longer an option.
Who it is for. For the development coach working on ball handling with guards and wings, and for the player who wants a wider field of vision off the dribble. Especially useful in youth categories, where the habit of looking down sets in early and is hard to undo.
How they work. They sit like ordinary goggles and block the lower field of view. The player still sees the court, teammates and the defender, but not the ball or their hands. Within a few sessions the dribble becomes a feel, and the head comes up on its own.
How to use them. They work best in short sets inside the warm-up, in cone handling circuits and in two-on-two, rather than in long blocks. Like any constraint work, they pay off in brief, repeated doses.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use cones vs. flat marker discs?
Cones (15-30 cm) suit drills where the player goes AROUND the obstacle (tight defence, slalom, drop-step fakes). Their height gives a visual cue and forces the centre of gravity lower. Flat marker discs (≈22 cm Ø) are for drills where the player runs OVER them without tripping (relay runs, sprints, zone marking). For mixed drills, plan on 6 cones + 12 discs per training block.What is an agility ladder used for?
An agility ladder (≈5 m, 10-12 rungs) trains foot coordination, frequency, direction changes and neuromuscular response. Classic patterns: 1 foot per square, 2 feet per square, lateral crossover (Carioca), in-out. Best used as a 5-10 minute warm-up at the start of practice; it's a motor-pattern drill, not a strength exercise.What resistance level should my bands have?
Resistance bands are colour-coded: yellow (5-10 kg) warm-up and glute med activation; red (10-15 kg) shooting technique, shoulder stability; black (15-25 kg) lower-body strength-endurance; green/blue (25-35 kg+) hypertrophy. An amateur team is fine with a red + black kit. For specific explosive strength, add blue.What basic gear do I need to start coaching a team?
Minimum kit for 12 players: 1 tactics board + 2 markers + eraser, 12 marker discs + 6 tall cones, 1 agility ladder, 1 whistle, 2 official balls + 1 training ball, 12 reversible bibs, 1 basic first-aid kit. Approximate cost: €200-280 depending on brands. Expand progressively as you specialise (defence drills, shooting technique, conditioning).
