On a square, have the players in partners spread around the outside of the square. The first player in each group dribbles to the central zone, performs the turning skill demonstrated, and passes the ball back to their partner. The Partner now using the receiving technique to collect the ball controls the ball and then repeats the sequence. Make sure you use each of the different turning moves. Dribbling Possible Skills to review: (Patterns: zig-zag, roll, two-foot inside-outside. Turns: pull-back turn, ½ Zico Turn, Full Zico, chops)
Coaching Points:
•Vison while dribbling
-Decrease the time between your turn and your pass

Create a small sided grid and put gates at each end. Split the kids into two teams (or three groups) and have each team on opposite ends of the field. The game is initiated by one team passing the ball into the second team. The team receiving the ball will send two players and the defending team will only send one player. At this point the three kids on the field will play 2v1. They can pass or dribble through the gate to score. Be sure to switch sides so that both teams get a chance to attack and defend.

Play 3v3 (four gates) on approximately 25 x 30 yard field, but when the ball goes out, a goal is scored, or time goes to long – three new players for each team enter the field. Have the players initiate the game with a pass across to the other team.

Freeze Tag (10 mins)
There are “Dribblers” and “Taggers”. In a group of 12-13 kids, you’ll have about 9 dribblers and 4 taggers. On the coach’s signal the taggers are released to try and tag dribblers who obviously try to stay away from the taggers. Taggers do NOT have a ball, Dribblers do have a ball at their feet and must always keep it within touching distance. If a dribbler’s ball goes out of bounds, they lose control of their ball, or a tagger tags them the dribbler becomes FROZEN. A Frozen dribbler stays where they were tagged, holds the ball above their head, and keeps their feet shoulder width apart. A fellow dribbler can UN-Freeze players who are frozen by pushing their ball between the frozen player’s legs. If the taggers get everyone frozen they win. If the dribblers can go for two minutes (or coach’s allowed time) without everyone getting frozen the dribblers win. Rotate the taggers for the next game. Play several rounds
