    8-11 Session 1

    This document provides instructions for a dribbling drill for 8-11 year olds. Players attempt to dribble across a 5x5 yard square or to an adjacent side to score points while avoiding being tagged by the player in the middle. Progressions include only allowing one player per side at a time to increase movement and evaluating positioning of teammates and opponents. A coach or older player can also be added inside the square as a passing option to practice combining while dribbling. The key coaching points are to look up and assess opportunities, make moves when the player in the middle is disadvantaged, and take risks to score more points.

    Dribbling & running with the ball 8-11 yrs

    Practice organisation

    • Area 5x5yd, set-out as illustrated.


    • 5 players, 4 have a ball.
    • Start position: Players with ball on outside of square, evenly-spaced.
    • Players attempt to dribble across the square or to an adjacent side, avoiding
    being tagged by player in middle.
    • Getting across gains 2 points, dribbling to adjacent side, gains 1.
    • Being tagged 3 times by player in middle means player goes into middle.

    Detail

    •  ifferent strengths of the contact touch on ball according to availability of space.


    D
    • Ability to contact ball using both feet.
    • Ability to reverse or change direction quickly if confronted by an opponent.
    • Simple progressions for this practice are:
    - Condition the practice so that only one player is able to be on one side, at any
    one time.
    - This will increase need for movement & evaluation of positioning of team
    mates as well a central opponent.
    - Introduce a supporting player inside the inner square as a passing option
    (coach or older player) to combine with, whilst moving across the square.
    • Engage the player in the middle to practice shielding / screening the ball (player
    in the middle is trying to disposses dribbling player)

    Key coaching points

    • L ooking-up to assess situation & capitalise on opportunities that open-up.


    • Making moves when player in middle is in a disadvantage position.
    • Assessing risk & making positive moves that involve an element of risk to score
    high-tariff points.
