KIDS SOCCER GAME - "POLES" | AGES 3 TO 10 | Soccer/Football Coaching | Dribbling

KIDS SOCCER GAME - "POLES" | AGES 3 TO 10 | Soccer/Football Coaching | Dribbling

𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗗𝗲𝗺𝘆.𝗰𝗼𝗺: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/kidscoachingcourse 𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙧 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨: ⁠https://amzn.to/48Jywpd

FOCUS OF SESSION:

This is a simple but effective drill. “Poles” 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. 

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 “Stop” 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 hasn’t 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 “Soles only!” “Outside of the foot only” “Right foot only!). This all helps their development and confidence.

COACHES NOTES:

  • Players should have close control so that in a game defenders can’t 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? 


Enjoy! Chris King Soccer Coach

Set up some cones so they form a grid with 9 squares like a Tic Tac Toe set up.


Then split your kids into two teams.


Each team has a set of 3 coloured bibs. Then it's a race out to the grid and place the bibs down to see who can get 3 bibs in a row first!


Kids love the race aspect of it. Try it at your next training session.

Enjoy!

KIDS SOCCER GAME - "BARCELONA" | AGES 3 TO 10 | Soccer/Football Coaching | Passing

KIDS SOCCER GAME - "BARCELONA" | AGES 3 TO 10 | Soccer/Football Coaching | Passing


G'day - this one works on passing.

It's a regular game but count up how many passes the kids make in a row.


Then if they score they get that amount of goals (ie if they make 4 passes and score they get 4 goals).


First team to 20 goals wins.


It works on players working as a team; getting their heads up to see who is available to pass to; communicating; plus lots more!


If you need any more advice feel free to reach out and email me at chriskingsoccercoach@gmail.com or head to Amazon for coaching books https://bit.ly/kidssoccerbook or

INSTRUCTIONS

-Set up a pitch with a goal at each end and balls positioned on the halfway line.

- Split the players into pairs & number them off with one from each pair starting at each end along the goal line.

- The coach calls out a number & the two players race out & battle for the ball.

- The first player that gets there turns around & tries to score in the goal they came from while the other player tries to stop them.

- 1 point for each goal & the first team to 5 points wins!


NOTE: Limit each go to approximately 30-40 seconds & call it a draw if they haven’t scored by then so the other players aren’t waiting around too long.


PROGRESSION:

- Call out two numbers & players from the same end join forces to score or defend.

Happy Coaching!

Chris King.

KIDS SOCCER GAME - "SURFERS & SHARKS" | AGES 3 TO 10 | Soccer/Football Coaching | Focus On:Dribbling/Defending

𝗨𝗗𝗲𝗺𝘆.𝗰𝗼𝗺: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/kidscoachingcourse⁠ This kids soccer game works on players dribbling and evasive skills while the defenders work on their defensive skills.


Set up a large rectangle with some smaller rectangles marked out inside (these are the safe 'islands' that the kids can dribble to). Players start at one end with a ball each - these are the surfers.


Two players start inside the rectangle - these players are the sharks! They aim to win the ball off the surfers as they try to surf their way across to the other side.


If they win the ball they swap roles (or alternatively keep the sharks in for a set amount of time and see how many surfers they can get!).
