Soccer
Dribbling Drills - Key Tips and
Tricks For Coaches
By Ry Van Buuren
Soccer
dribbling drills are essential
to every attacking player's armoury.
Every soccer player wants to be
able to dribble the ball like
Cristiano Ronaldo. For the past
few years, players who have been
voted player of the year, have
been brilliant dribblers like
Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho
and Kaka.Every soccer player wants
to make the fans stand, and leave
defenders shaking in their boots.

Being
a good dribbler has numerous advantages,
the most obvious one being able
to run at a defender and beat
him. If you want to be an excellent
dribbler of the ball, you will
need to put in practise and hard
work. Here are key soccer dribbling
drills I implement when coaching
players:
- Make
2 players dribble each other
one on one. When one loses the
ball, it is that players turn
to defend.
-
Use half the soccer field, and
pick 4 players. These 4 players
will be defenders. The rest
of you squad will be attackers.
The object of the drill is for
the defenders to try get the
ball from the attackers. If
a defender wins the ball from
an attacker, they swop roles.
This is also a great fitness
drill.
Remember that although dribbling
is a great skill, it should never
be overused. Rather pass to a team
mate if he or she is open. The only
time you should dribble, is when
none of your team mates are open.
Soccer is a team sport.
It
is essential that every coach
plan soccer dribbling drills into
their practise sessions. This
will make the training for fun
for the players.
