FOCUS OF SESSION:
This is a simple but effective drill. âPolesâ help kids with their dribbling skills, getting their head up to scan the area, changing direction with the ball and keeping close possession.
SET UP:
4 to 12 players
25x25 yard square
6 Poles
THE DRILL:
In a large square, randomly spread poles around the area. Players start inside the square with a ball each.Â
They must dribble around as many poles as they can in a set amount of time (usually 1 minute), avoiding other players.
After 1 minute, call out âStopâ and all players should be able to put their foot on the ball. If the ball is too far away and they can't stop it straight away, this means the player hasnât kept close control. Give those players a small task to do (5 toe taps on the ball) to encourage them to keep close control next time.
Ask how many poles each player got around in the minute. Then see if they can improve on their next round.
Call out different parts of the foot to use (ie âSoles only!â âOutside of the foot onlyâ âRight foot only!). This all helps their development and confidence.
COACHES NOTES:
Players should have close control so that in a game defenders canât steal the ball from them. Every now and then, walk around the square and lightly kick the kids' balls if the ball is too far from their body. This shows them how a Defender could steal it.
Players should be regularly looking around so they can see where the next pole is and so they can avoid the other players.
CHANGE IT:
Encourage personal improvement - for example, can they get around 6 poles in 1 minute the first go? Then the next minute can they beat their last attempt and get around 8?Â
Enjoy! Chris King Soccer Coach
