Drill (10 mins)

Area Size: 30x30

Set Up: Place 10-12 gates around the area, spreading them out. (Notice how some gates are smaller than the others - ask players why they think this is?)

Start off:

1) Allow players to dribble around and figure the area out for a minute

2) Limit the players to using only their inside foot and see how many gates they can dribble through in 90 seconds. (player keeps their score for the next round)

3) Now utilise only outside of their foot

4) Now only use laces

5) Now using weaker foot.

Timings - 90 seconds for each round.

If players are struggling work individually rather than as a whole group.

Coaching Points:

- Body position

- Head up to see where space is/ other people are

- Explode with speed between gates

Progression (15 mins)

Progression:

Add in some defenders with pinnys.

These defenders look to win the ball from the players in blue. If they do they attempt to score in the mini target goals on the outside of the area.

If the defender wins the ball the player who lost the ball is allowed to attempt to win the ball back.

Point scoring:

Blue team ( Dribbling team ) : 5 points for each gate they go through

Black Team (Defending team) : 10 Points for each goal they score.

90 Second rounds and see who has the most points.

Switch out defenders to ensure all players have a go.

Coaching points:

- Think about the different parts of the foot you can use to get away from opposition

- Scan around for space

- Use turns/skills to get away from defenders?

- Be strong when you have the ball (protect the ball)
