Ball Control in Youth Soccer with the Thieves' Game

Fun game to offer in soccer school, which will help work on dribbling while incorporating a team component with a relay system.

Animation: Ball Control in Youth Soccer with the Thieves' Game
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:
  1. 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. 
  2. Upon arrival, the 2nd player can start to perform the same route.
  3. The team that has brought the most balls into their zone at the end wins the round.
  4. Conduct several rounds depending on the number of players present.

Reminder: passing is prohibited, only dribbling is allowed.

Soccer is often seen as a team sport where team spirit and strategy are essential. However, technique in soccer is crucial. A player's ability to control the ball, execute precise moves, or perform complex actions can make all the difference on the field.

Let's delve into the definition of technique in soccer, its different aspects, and the technical exercises you can implement during your training sessions to positively develop your players technically.

What is technique in soccer?


Technique in soccer refers to the set of skills and movements mastered by a player to effectively manipulate the ball. It includes the quality of passes, the ability to dribble, shooting accuracy, and control mastery. Technique is distinct from the tactical aspect of the game, which concerns movement, collective decisions, and strategy. While tactics dictate where to position and when, technique allows the player to execute these choices with precision and efficiency.

In modern soccer, technique has become indispensable. It offers players the ability to quickly adapt to different game situations and make individual differences, whether to beat a defender, maintain ball possession, or score goals.

The technical aspects of soccer


Soccer encompasses several specific technical aspects that every player must master to perform well. Here are the main ones:

Passing in soccer

Passing is one of the fundamental skills in soccer. It allows the ball to circulate among teammates and progress on the field. A good pass must be precise, quick, and suited to the game situation. Passes can be short, long, aerial, or on the ground, depending on the distance and opponent pressure.

Ball control in soccer

Ball control is essential to ensure the continuity of play after a pass or recovery. Good control allows the player to dominate the ball from the first touch and prepare it for the next action. This can include controls with the inside of the foot, chest, or even the head, depending on the ball's trajectory.

Ball control in soccer is also deemed the “most important” skill by a certain Zinédine Zidane during his career, notably mentioning making a difference directly with the first touch.

Dribbling in soccer

Dribbling is a technical skill that allows a player to get past an opponent while maintaining ball control. Dribbling requires speed, agility, and creativity, especially in 1v1 duels. A good dribbler can create spaces and destabilize opposing defenses.

Shooting in soccer

Shooting refers to the set of shooting techniques used to score goals. This includes long shots, volleys, headers, and placed shots. A technical forward must be able to shoot in various situations and angles while maintaining accuracy and power.

Tackling

Tackling is a defensive move that involves intercepting the ball by going to ground to prevent an opponent from advancing. It is a technical aspect often overlooked but requires precision and timing to avoid fouls while recovering the ball.

Ball control

Ball control involves keeping the ball close while advancing on the field. It is a technique that demands great mastery to control the ball at high speed, under opponent pressure, while maintaining a view of the game.

What technical soccer exercises to implement in training?


To improve these technical aspects, it is important to integrate specific technical exercises during training. Here are some technical drills that can be implemented to perfect players' skills:

Passing technique exercise

A good exercise to improve passing accuracy is to organize passing games in a triangle or circle. Players must execute quick and precise passes while constantly moving. This helps work on both the quality of the pass and ball control.

Dribbling technique drill

To perfect dribbling, a classic exercise is slaloming between cones. Players must dribble through these obstacles while maintaining ball control. This technical drill can be done with increasing difficulty by adding opposition.

Ball control exercise

Ball control can be worked on with exercises where players receive aerial or ground passes and must control the ball in one or two touches. Control-relay exercises, where the player must link a control with a pass, are also effective for perfecting this skill.

Shooting drill

To work on shooting, a common technical exercise involves taking shots from different positions following passes or crosses. It is important to integrate variations so players get used to shooting in different game situations: right-footed shots, left-footed shots, shots under pressure, etc.

Small-sided game for ball control

Finally, to improve ball control, small-sided games (e.g., 3v3) are very effective. They allow players to focus on shielding the ball, dribbling, and making quick decisions in a confined space.

Technique in soccer, a fundamental element


As we have seen, technique in soccer is a fundamental element that conditions individual and collective performance on the field.

Whether it is precise passes, impactful dribbles, or deadly shooting, each technical aspect can make the difference in a match. To perfect these skills, it is crucial for you, as a coach, to introduce varied and adapted technical exercises during your technical training.

The more players work on these drills, the more their technical mastery will improve, allowing them to progress to a higher level.
