OBJECTIVE: To dribble and change directionPLAYER ACTIONS: Dribble forwardORGANIZATION: In a 15W x 20L grid & all players with a soccer ball, the players dribble their ball using specific surfaces: outside right (pinky toe)-inside right (big toe)-laces-bottom-toe-heel. Repeat with the left foot. Coaches walk around the field to assist or encourage the players through the pattern. RULES: Players begin dribbling as soon as they have their ball. On the coach’s command (or whistle), the players will dribble their ball as fast as they can using all six surfaces. After each round, the coach introduces a new surface until all 6 surfaces are completed in a row.KEY WORDS: Outside, inside, laces, bottom, toe & heelGUIDED QUESTIONS: What can you do to help you remember the different surfaces? Who can explain tome what they have to do with their foot in order to use the different surfaces?ANSWERS: Encourage the players to say the surfaces as they use them. This will help with their memory of the pattern. Question 2 is checking for understanding. See if the players can tell & show the team how they can use the different surfaces.Note: Since the players have already used 4 surfaces, start with who can show the 4 surfaces in rounds 1 &2. Now, 1 at a time, introduce the 2 new surfaces.

OBJECTIVE: Improve dribbling to avoid opponentsPLAYER ACTIONS: Pass or dribble forwardORGANIZATION: In a 15W x 20L grid, the coach will select 2 Freeze Monsters who do not need a soccer ball. The rest of the players dribble their ball around the grid and avoid the Freeze Monsters. If a Freeze Monster tags a dribbler, they are frozen. They must stand & hold their soccer ball over their head so their teammates know they are frozen. To get unfrozen, a dribbling teammate must hit the min their shin guards with their ball. RULES: Play begins when the coach says, “BEWARE OF THEFREEZE MONSTER!” Dribblers must stay within the grid. If their ball goes out of play, the dribbler must retrieve it as fast as they can and return to the game.KEY WORDS: Find who is frozen, unfreeze your teammateGUIDED QUESTIONS: How do you know where the Freeze Monsters are or where the frozen players are? How do you unfreeze a teammate?ANSWERS: You have to look up and around you to see the Freeze Monsters and your frozen teammates. When no Freeze Monsters are close, dribble to your teammate and pass your ball into their shin guards.Note: If they players are able to hit their teammates in the shin guards, you can also try to have them pass through their frozen teammates legs. If they are struggling the free their teammates, a simple tag can unfreeze them too. Coaches can start as freeze monsters if needed.

OBJECTIVE: To pass or dribble past an opponent and score goalsPLAYER ACTIONS: Dribble forwardORGANIZATION: On your 20W x 30L game field, set up two (13W x 20L) fields with a 4 yard space between. Place a small goal on each end line. When practice is scheduled to start & as soon as 2players arrive, start playing a game. The game starts 1v1. As players arrive, the game becomes 2v1then 2v2 up to 3v3. Once 1 field is at 3v3, start a second game on the field next to it.KEY WORDS: Play forward, try a new move, beat them to goalGUIDED QUESTIONS: If you have the ball, which direction should you try to play? Who can show me a new move they have tried in this game?ANSWERS: Turn your body & ball until you are facing the goal you want to go to. Question 2 is trying to encourage the players to show you something they may have learned this season. The answer is in their ability to show.Note: Striking through the middle of the ball will help to keep the ball on the ground. This is not only easier for the person receiving the ball but makes the games safer too.
