Dribbling Warm-Up (10 mins)

Organization:

-Every Player with ball in 20x30 grid

Instructions:

STEP I:

-Players dribble using Messi touches and Ronaldo touches, choosing the correct time for each, ie close spaces using messi touches, open space using ronaldo touches.

-After a few minutes, a challenge is introduced. Players now race to 50+ touches using Messi, Ronaldo, or a combination of the two.

STEP II.

-Players dribble throughout area using any part of foot and wait for different commands

1) Change - Players leave their ball and find a new one to dribble with

2) Out - Players dribble as quickly as they can to the edge of the field

3) In - Players dribble as quickly as they can around the coach, keeping close control of the ball

Coaching Points:

-Head up to see available space

-Keep the ball close when in crowded areas (can you take a touch every step you take)

-If a player sees a good area of space, then they can take bigger touch/accelerate into it

-Use correct dribbling technique (pinky toe touches, knee over ball)

Progressions:

-If players lose the ball outside of the area, or hit another player/ball they lose 10 points in the race to 50.

Main Theme 1 (10 mins)

Organization:

- Field size adjusted as needed

- Players start at the corners of the grid with a ball each

- A cone in the middle that corresponds to each starting spot with the players

Instructions:

- Players working on different turns by dribbling to the cone in the middle of the field, executing the turn, and then dribbling back to the starting spot

- Work on inside cut, outside cut, pullback. Can focus on one or a couple depending on the ability of the group to grasp the proper technique

- Can progress by removing the extra cones and only placing one cone in the middle, now having all the players dribble towards each other acting as passive defenders to turn away from

Coaching Points:

- Proper execution of the specific turn

- Using our body to protect the ball when turning

- Close control leading into the turn, explode/accelerate after the turn

- Checking your shoulder before you turn
