TEAM DRIBBLING:
THE GAME:
1. A regular even sided scrimmage. However, since the object of the game is to encourage and increase the amount of dribbling going on, six, small 'cone goals' have been set up around the field.
2. Each time a player dribbles through one of the goals, it counts as a point.
3. Goals scored on the big goals count as well.
4. Play with two or three balls to increase the amount of repetitions even further.
COACHING POINTS:
1. Here, players now have to make a decision when to dribble. At first they will dribble all of the time, even if it means going into pressure. So, helping them to see where the open field is helps their development.
2. Use the outside of the foot, or the laces for 'speed' dribbling.
3. Change of pace, change of direction to keep the defenders unbalanced.
This game is especially appropriate for U-8 through U-12 players.
