Dribbling Technique Drill

There are 3-Key things we want players to learn when it comes to Dribbling Techniques

  • 1) Body Posture - Specifically Lower Body => 'Tippy-Toes'
  • 2) Foot Ball Contact Area => 'Big Toe' & 'Pinky Toe'
  • 3) Momentum => Commit - Beat - Defeat

We will focus mostly on point 1 and 2 at this point and time

During this Activity we will get players to Dribble from one end to the other by applying different coaching points that will progressively get the technique to what it should be.

1st round - Dribble while being on your 'Tippy-Toes' We want players to be on the balls of their feet when playing soccer, as this allows them to be more agile. This is especially crucial when doing close control dribbling. Centre of gravity should be kept as low as possible though to help with forward momentum.

2nd and 3rd round - Dribble with the 'Pinky and Big Toe' of dominant leg only, and then with 'Pinky and Big Toe' of none-dominant leg only. If players are on the balls of their feet, it will be easy for them to touch the ball with the area of the foot around the Pinky and Big Toes, we want to use this area, as it is a big surface insuring good manipulation of the ball, but it also allows more controlled touches (you can almost stroke the ball), which allows us to keep it close while moving forwards.

4th round - Free Form - go however you want while making use of 'Tippy-Toes' and 'Pinky and Big Toe' techniques

5th round - Race - lines race to see who can complete circuit the quickest. Get players all on one side and they must dribble out and back again

Dribbling Gates

Dribbling Gates

Round 1 Players see how many Gates they can dribble through in 1min. They have to go to a different one every time, till they went through all. Can't go through a gate where there is another player already.

Round 2 You will have multiple pairs of Dribblers and a Chasers - Dribbler will try to get as many gates as possible in 1min. Chaser tries to win the ball (NO SLIDE TACKELS FROM BEHIND). If Chaser wins the ball, they give it to Dribbler again who continues, then they must exit the square, before re-entering to chase the Dribbler again.
