This
is for ages
U6, U8, U10, U12.
It is best ran with at least
8
players but no more than
16
players. The drill should be ran approximately
20 minutes
on a
small field.
The coach will also make sure they have the following equipment:
cones, .
With disk cones, outline a grid that is about 15X15 yards. You might want to make it a bit bigger or smaller depending on the age and number of kids you have. You will need to have a ball for each player; however, only 3 players start off with balls. The remaining balls should be placed outside the grid. The three players with balls are called the "hitters". The remaining players should start off scattered throughout the grid they are the "dodgers".
Instruct the "hitters" to dribble inside the grid and attempt to pass the ball to any of the "dodgers" and hit them with the ball. The "dodgers" are attempting to avoid being hit by the "hitters". If a "dodger" is hit, he must collect a ball from the extra balls outside the grid and join the hitters. The last players standing win.
None
Coaches should talk to the hitters about keeping their ball close to the while getting their heads up to find the dodgers.
Coaches should focus on good passing form: using the inside of the foot with good pace on the ball.
