The player who gets his ball kicked out is the next player who tries to kick the other players’ ball. So whoever has their ball kicked out becomes the next one to try to kick the remaining players’ ball out of the area.
In this exercise, instruct your players to form pairs. Each player has a ball. While one leads, using dribbling skills to move the ball, the other player must follow him like a shadow, dribbling along with him.
Now watch to see if the players have their heads up as they control the ball. They must use their creativity in working out how to control the soccer ball even as they dribble it with the help of the inner and outer side of the feet.
Also, encourage them to switch directions swiftly and move as fast as they can. Once this happens for about two minutes, let the players switch places and continue the drill.
Active soccer skill drills can keep your players enthusiastic about coming to practice as they see themselves improving each time.
