Line Dribble (10 mins)

Organization:

  • 20x25 playing area marked with cones in the corners. Cones are also laid 5 yards off each end line to create end zones. Flags are also placed 10 yards from the center of the sideline where the coach stands. Players are split into two teams of six and each team wears a different colored vest. The coach is on the touchline with all the balls.

Instructions:


When the coach says, “Go” the first person in each line must run down to the flag on their side before entering the field. The coach plays a ball towards one player to create an attacking advantage. The player must dribble to the opposite end zone and stop the ball for a point. If the defending player wins the ball, she can score at the opposite line.

*You can also start by playing a ball to both players and they can dribble to opposite sides. First player across the line wins a point and then go to 1v1.*
  • Coach says “Go” and first person in each line runs around their flag.
  • Player who last touched the ball brings it back to the coach.
Coaching Points:
  • Main coaching objectives – players need to make a good first touch and attack the defender at speed.
  • Coaching tips – if the groups take too much time you can play a 2nd ball out for the next group to play simultaneously.
  • Adaptations – start to add numbers to the activity to create 2v1, 2v2, and 3v2 games
  • Dribbling basics, Turning basics, Feints and dribble, Beating an opponent, Escaping an opponent, Passing over a short distance, Receiving the ball with the feet, Shooting technique.
