Passers and Dribblers
Back to Activities
Description
•Two equal teams on a regulation field.
•Divide each team; half are dribblers (with a minimum of 5 touches before they shoot or pass) and passers (maximum of two touches).
•All soccer rules apply. If dribbler or passer breaks the restriction, ball goes to other team.
•Use different color pinnies to identify dribblers and passers.
Coaching Points
•Each team must organize passers and dribblers so they are in the best positions on the field.
•Make sure to rotate the dribblers and passers.
•Dribblers must control the ball, and dribble to shield if there are many players around them or dribble to goal and beat opposing defenders.
•Passers must receive the ball on their first touch, and make good passes with the next touch. Don’t allow them to just to kick the ball away. It should be passed to a teammate.
