DESCRIPTION

To start practice in a lively way with a fun warm-up that introduces and develops the fundamentals of dribbling.

Mark a square approximately 15 x 15 yards (depending on the number of players)

Each player should have a ball.  If not, use the "Change Soccer" principle:  half the players inside the square each with a ball, half outside without a ball.  Trade places on shoult "Chagne!"

Three instructions are given to the players inside the square:

  • "STOP" - put foot on top of ball quickly and freeze, like a statue
  • "GO" - Move right or left with the ball, fast, for three or four yards.
  • "TURN" - Turn 180 degrees quickly with the ball and move three or four yards.

 

COACHING POINTS

  1. Encourage players to keep the ball close to their feet.
  2. Occasionally insist on using left foot only or right foot only.
  3. See how many different ways they can turn with the ball.
  4. When introducing the instructions, do so one at a time with practice in between to avoid giving layers too muich at once.
  5. Later, incorporate your own ideas.

Target

  • Stay in he are with the ball
  • No contact with other player or with other balls.
