Dribble Conclusion (warm down): Musical Dribble Drill

Musical Dribble Game: The drill helps the players to develop their dribbling and ball control skills in a fun manner. The activity also encourages the players to maintain awareness and reaction speed. Drill Set Set up a rectangular playing grid in no particular manner according to the number of participants you want. The cones should be lesser than the number of players; if there are 8 players, the tall cones should be 7. Each player with a soccer ball as the trainer prepares the music (whistle can be used as well). Execution : For this drill, the players should use their weaker foot to dribble. Every touch on the ball must be for one split second, not more. To start this drill, the trainer begins playing music or blows the whistle; then the players start dribbling inside the grid. Immediately the music stops or the whistle sounds, each player must dribble towards the nearest cone and knock it over with their soccer ball. Any player that couldn’t knock over a cone is out of the game; they can continue playing outside the playing area. Before starting the next round, players should reset the cones, and the trainer takes out one random cone so that there are more players than cones inside the grid. The ball must be dribbled everywhere inside the grid, and players must not stand still; otherwise, they are warned or disqualified from the game. The game continues in this manner until there is one player left inside the grid and is declared the winner. Repeat the game as many times as needed.
