Junior Dribbling - Changing pace and direction

Rating: 4 from 6 members ratings

This Session aims to get your players dribbling with confidence, using both feet, keeping the ball close to their body and changing speed and direction!

Not all players on your team will be ambidextrous (able to use both feet) but you should be able to demand certain things from your players:

• Don't let the ball run away from you!
• Keep your head up when you're on the ball
• Try to use both feet
• Use different parts of your feet

Having even the slightest bit of confidence using your weaker foot will greatly help players when they're next stuck in a tight corner!

To improve their dribbling form and encourage players to keep their heads up whilst on the ball (so that they can scan their surroundings) this session starts with a fun Cone Flip warm up game before then progressing onto the serious business of dribbling - to help them master the ball like Messi!
