Fun game to offer in soccer school, which will help work on dribbling while incorporating a team component with a relay system.
Mark out a 20x20m square, where you will place 4 gates on each side. Then place a small square in the center of 5x5m. Form 4 teams of 3 players and place 12 balls within the small square. (see animation).
The objective of the 4 teams of thieves is to recover as many balls as possible and bring them back to their zone by passing through their gate. The exercise will proceed as follows:
- The 1st player of each team starts at your signal. He/She must get to the square as quickly as possible and then return dribbling with a ball into their zone.
- Upon arrival, the 2nd player can start to perform the same route.
- The team that has brought the most balls into their zone at the end wins the round.
- Conduct several rounds depending on the number of players present.
Reminder: passing is prohibited, only dribbling is allowed.
