Soccer drill procedure

REMEMBER: One team dribbles with the left foot!

In the animation, two groups are playing against each other. The number of groups can be increased indefinitely, to keep the number of players on each team small. All you need is enough balls and ground markers. Children love competitions in soccer. Children don’t need any more incentive to speed up their dribbling. The special thing about this drill is that one group dribbles with the left foot, and the other with the right. This is intentional – it makes it easier to put together groups of differing abilities.

Description

Two or more groups compete to win. The ultimate winners of many different repetitions of the drill are that day’s dribbling champions. No further explanation of the soccer drill is necessary.
