Warm up
Running Bases - Players try to
dribble their ball without being tagged. If they get tagged, they exchange
places with the tagger. Have taggers carry a pinnie to distinguish
themselves. Hand pinnies over to the player that is tagged and use their
ball to dribble. Players are save in any one of the 4 bases. Only one
player allowed in a base at one time. If a new players enters a base, the
old player must leave.
Body
Conquer the Pyramid - Dribblers
(in Red) try to dribble through the three zones occupied by the blue
defenders. 3 defenders in first zone, two in the next zone, and one in the
last zone. Defenders must stay in their zones and try to kick any ball
they intercept out of bounds. Dribblers go three at a time. If the
dribbler ahead of you in your line gets their ball knocked out, you may
start right away. As soon as the dribbler in front of you moves to the
next zone, you can also go.
After beating the last defender, the
dribbler must shoot the ball into the goal to get a point for their team.
Coaching Points:
Good dribbling technique.
Look for an opening.
Team Knockout – 15 minutes, 20x30
yards, half the players with balls, the other half need to be around the
outside of the grid, the players outside the grid will come into the grid
and work together to steal balls away from the dribblers and dribble the
outside of the grid, once a player loses their ball they can help their
team mates out by passing with them, time the team that started with out
with the ball on how long it takes to get the ball out of the grid
Application
4 v. 4 Line Soccer - Each team has
a line to defend and attack. Score a goal by dribbling the ball over any
portion of the line that your team is attacking. The size of the field is
the same as a standard 4 v. 4 game, but it is turned sideways. The wider,
shorter field creates many good 1 v. 1 situations which challenges the
player's dribbling skills. Players need to evaluate and identify when to
dribble and pass. This variation highlights: The correct attitude (when to
take a risk aggressively) and the technical development and execution of
dribbling.
