Drill Objective: This is a FUN soccer drill that focuses on young soccer players dribbling skills and aids in player awareness. It is a great drill that causes players to change directions quickly to find space and avoid being tagged. This game is bit harder than Soccer Tag.
Drill Setup: Create a grid approximately 20X20 depending on the number of players. Each player should have their own soccer ball.
Drill Instructions: With this drill, the players are dribbling around in the grid trying to avoid a tag from the other players. However, the tag must be made below the players knee in order to receive credit for the tag. Each successful tag below the knee will result in a point being awarded to the tagging player. If the player gets tagged, a point is subtracted from their total. The first player to 5 wins that round. Play a couple rounds depending on the length of time each game takes.
Drill Variations: NA
Drill Coaching Points: Make sure players are dribbling with their head up
Instruct players to find open space.
Players will want to leave their ball when being chased, so make sure the players keep their ball in close control.
Make sure the kids have FUN!
