Dribble Between Squares (10min)

Players will dribble the ball from one square to another and back using various dribbling skills. Some skills they will use are:

- outside right foot

- inside right foot

- outside left

- inside left

Encourage players to be confident and remind them that this is the time to practice get better at dribbling. Ensure players are being intentional with every dribble and promote quality over quality. We should give more praise to those that are working on the skill instead of those that are rushing the dribble to get to the other side.

Dribbling With Gates (10min)

Set up:

Place pairs of cones throughout the pitch. These pairs will be known as "gates".

Drill: Have players get one soccer ball and dribble through the gates in any order they want. They will practice various forms of dribbling skills and are moving with more agility unlike the first drill that was linear.

Some skills they will use are:

- outside right foot

- inside right foot

- outside left

- inside left

Coaching Points:

- Dribble with head up to always be looking for high quality passes

- Observe who is talented at avoiding other players and cones on the pitch

- Only allow players to pick up the tempo if they are doing the skills well

- This drill is having work on their dribbling mastery while also conditioning your team

Coaching Points: Encourage players to dribble full speed as this is a competition. Observe which players have the best control when dribbling at high speeds.
