circle dribble tag
From
youth soccer drills by
Jim Garland
PURPOSE
To develop dribbling skills with subtle defensive pressure.
LEVEL
Advanced beginner, intermediate
EQUIPMENT
Two soccer balls and four game markers for every six players
TIME
8 to 10 minutes
PROCEDURE
Level 1
-
Place six players in a 10-yard-by-10-yard
grid.
-
Four players form a circle.
-
Two players, each with a football, stand
outside the circle on opposite sides.
-
Designate one of these players as the
tagger.
-
On the coach’s signal, the tagger has 30
seconds to catch the other player with a ball while both players are
dribbling.
-
The tagger may cut through the circle, but
the player being chased may not.
Level 2
-
Repeat level 1 procedures 1 through 6.
-
While the tagger is chasing the other
player, teammates who have formed the circle move as a unit to shield
the player being chased from the tagger.
KEY POINTS
Players need to use good visual habits to know when the tagger has changed
directions. Changing directions and speeds frequently will help the player
being chased.
