YOUNGER GROUPS
Similar to above game, players without the ball apply pressure to their partners, encouraging them to sprint, turn and dodge. Improving their technical skills and movement.
Players should be encouraged to maintain control of the ball at all times. If they lose control of the ball by bumping into another group or stepping outside of the marked area then the ball will be given to the partner.
NB: The number of partners within the area applies pressure to the person dribbling with the ball. Giving an opportunity for them to carefully think about were their next move will be. Not only concentrating on the person pressuring them but also the other players surrounding them, which relates to a game situation.

The U10 age group is the golden window for developing ball mastery. Miss it, and you're playing catch-up forever. Here's how to get it right.
