footy4kids can teach you how eo juggle a ball!

"footy4kids patches have inspired my team of U9s to be much better players.

The difference in everyone’s play is amazing.

When I started the season... most of the kids were lethargic, unexcited, and bored....the patches arrived in time for the first match....you'd would think I was passing out £10 notes after the game!

All the kids are very proud of the patches they have earned, and can tell everyone how they earned each patch." Craig

a football (soccer) drill for children that helps reinforce defending and ball control skills

 

protect the cone football drill

The Game

Use a 20x30 grid. Divide the players into four teams. Each player has a ball. Each team sets up three or four cones to protect on one side of the space. The coach chooses a captain for each team. The captain must decide which players will defend and attack. On command, the game begins with players defending their cones or attacking the other team's cones, while controlling their own soccer ball. When your cones are knocked down, your team is out. The team with the last standing cone is the winner.

Coaching Points

Allow players to organize themselves with as little interference from you as possible.

Watch which players have the most success at organizing their group. But make sure all get plenty of opportunities to be the leader.

Watch the group dynamics and switch players often so they all get to work together.
