Explode!
easy and fun soccer coaching drill
designed to improve dribbling skills
Set up: The cones are placed an equal distance
away from the circle, say 10-20 yards, depending on age of players
To start with I have
the players dribble inside a circle (usually just using the inside circle of the
field). The circle is primarily used so the players will keep their head up
while dribbling in a confined space.
My instructions inside the circle will include "pull backs", "outside of foot
dribble" and so forth. Anything to keep their head up while dribbling.
After about a minute of dribbling I will yell the word "explode". At this time,
the players will then explode from the circle to find a cone to dribble to, turn
around, and then come back to the circle. The key here is that no two players
can go around the same cone, so they have to find another cone if somebody is
already ahead of them. I (the coach) stand in centre of the circle and first one
back to slap my hand wins.
Other rules I have in place are when players come back to circle they must have
control of the ball and stop it in front of me and then slap my hand (I learned
this after doing this drill and having the balls fly all over the place because
they did not have control of the ball coming back into the circle). It is
competitive and can be treated as a fitness drill.
You can also do the drill by how many times each player has come back to the
circle to slap hands for a two minute time period.
