Soccer training – Dribbling - Exercise:

Previous exerciseDouble Round 2Next exercise

Soccer drill procedure

No ball handover in the centre; instead, targeted passes to a partner. This is the difference between this drill and the previous one. The players’ dependency on each other in the drill increases, and mistakes severely impede the flow of the game. Tell that to the players while you’re explaining the drill to them, so as to increase the pressure, and with it their concentration.

Description

Two groups stand opposite each other; each player has a ball. The first players of both groups start dribbling and pass the balls to each other at the same time. Then the players dribble around the cone markers, as shown in the animation, and rejoin the group they started in.

Variations

- Different dribbling and passing techniques
- Dribble around the other side

Soccer coach tips

- Always train using both legs!
- Push for increased speed!
