Drill Objective:
This is a soccer drill designed for under 6 soccer players. It is designed to work on simple body movement, coordination and balance.
Drill Setup:
In a unmarked area gather your players without their soccer ball (you can introduce this later in this drill). The coach should come up with short list of activities such as: skipping, one-legged hops, star jumps, log rolls, summer salts, push-ups, etc...
Drill Instructions:
The coach should start by asking the players "I can do [activity] can you?" The coach should then demonstrate to the players the activity and have the children do the same.
