soccer drills and games that
improve dribbling skills
Provide a 20 yd x
20 yd. grid (or approximately 1sq. yd. per player). Each player has a ball.
Players dribble inside grid randomly using correct techniques and avoiding other
players. Players should practice inside and outside foot dribbling, stopping
changing direction and pace, and maintaining control while in the
beehive.
Provide a 20 yd. x
20 yd. Grid. Each player has a ball except one player (or coach) who is "it".
Players start to dribble inside the grid while trying to avoid having their ball
kicked out of the grid by the player who is "it". Players may re-enter grid
after retrieving their ball.
Provide a 20 yd by
20 yd grid. Each player has a ball. Players dribble around the grid trying to
kick each other's ball out of the grid while protecting their own ball.
Have players pair
up, each player with a ball. Leader dribbles while second player follows, also
dribbling. Remind players to keep their heads up. Encourage creative dribbling -
changes in direction, pace, and technique. Stress control and change leaders
frequently.
Players pair up,
each couple with a ball in a grid. Player with the ball is "on the
attack" and the other player is the defender. The attacking player tries to
dribble to any of the cones (aside from the one behind her/her) and touch the
cone with the ball. Defending player tries to prevent this. Players switch
possession of ball when attacker accomplishes her goal or when ball goes out of
bounds.
