Soccer drills for technique dribbling

  • In a rectangle with a central strip, the players are divided into 2 groups facing each other.
  • The exercise starts with 1 player with a jacket in the middle strip. This is the defender. 
  • Players must cross with the ball, the defender must take the ball and play it off the field. 
    • the defender shall remain only on the central strip
  • If a player loses the ball, they will also put on a jacket and help the defender. 
  • Attackers thus keep running back and forth until there is one attacker left. 
  • This is the winner.

Organization:

There will be played 8 against 4.

6:3, 7:3, 7:4, 9:4 or 9:5 is also possible.

With more or less players the dimensions have to be adjusted.

The 4 may always try to score.

If the ball is intercepted by the 4, if the ball goes out or after scoring, there must be counted again.
