This
is for ages
U6, U8.
It is best ran with at least
4
players but no more than
12
players. The drill should be ran approximately
10 minutes
on a
small field.
The coach will also make sure they have the following equipment:
cones, .
Create a grid approximately 20X20 depending on the number of players. Each player should have their own soccer ball.
With this drill, the players are dribbling around in the grid trying to avoid a tag from the other players. However, the tag must be made below the players knee in order to receive credit for the tag. Each successful tag below the knee will result in a point being awarded to the tagging player. If the player gets tagged, a point is subtracted from their total. The first player to 5 wins that round. Play a couple rounds depending on the length of time each game takes.
