Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 3 Zone Dribbling Game

Screen 1

Divide into two teams. Use a Joker if necessary.

The pitch is split into 3 zones (defensive, middle, and attacking zones)

Teams are overloaded in the defensive/attacking zone (2 defenders vs. 1 attacker) but equal in the middle zone with a server/target player each end. Players can only get from 1 zone to the next by dribbling the ball across zones.

Black players have to get the ball from the server and create an opportunity for one of them to run the ball out into the other half. This will then create a 2 v 2 situation in the attacking third and the players have to combine and get the ball to the target player. When they achieve this or the ball is lost the black player who carried the ball into the opposing half has to return to his own half then blue players try to do the same going in the opposite direction.

Looking For:

Can you identify and run the ball into space.

Can you keep the ball close to your feet whilst looking up to identify where

teammates and opponents are positioned.

Can you explode away once free.
