Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): When to dribble when to pass

1v1 + 3 transition

Set up:

- 15 wide x 20 long

- 1v1 in the center of field

- bumpers to left and right, should always be looking to provide support to the ball

- one player in each endzone

- the four players playing 1v1 in center are their own team and should keep their own score

players score by dribbling over the line

- once the player dribbles over the line they give the ball to waiting player and they now dribble in the opposite direction against the same defender that was just defending other player that dribbled over the line.

- if the player is unable to beat the player on the dribble they should look to use the bumper to left, right and behind. The player in front can not be passed to for a point to be scored.

Coaching points:

- players should look to pass when under pressure

- dribble when in space

- keep head up

- receive ball from bumper with open body position. This will create enough space to allow players to attack space with first touch and dribble to endzone line.
