MOVES #3-#4 – DRIBBLING

++++++++++

The best thing a developing soccer player can do is develop dominant ball skills needed to master the 1v1 (one verses one) game.

This means getting thousands of touches on the ball to develop deep comfort and control with all parts of the body and feet.  This also means mastering specific skills to keep the ball away from an opponent, move the ball around an opponent, and take the ball away from an opponent.  As a player grows up, dominant ball skills provide the best foundation for developing dominant passing skills.

Younger players can work through each move and skip those which are too difficult.  Older players can work through each move and spend time mastering those which are weak or missing from their game.

Now we get to the fun stuff – DRIBBLING.  Dribbling is the primary component needed to develop command of a soccer ball.  This is where 1v1 excellence begins.   

The youngest ages of youth soccer (U6 – U9) are all about Speed Dribbling and Fast Dribbling.  Get the ball at your foot, punch it forward, and sprint after it. 

Do you have a U6 - U12 coach telling you to pass the ball all the time?  Find a new coach. 

Every player should have multiple opportunities to first dribble the ball and try to beat at least one opponent 1v1 before passing.  This is how you develop creativity and confidence with the ball.      

Especially use scrimmages, small-sided-games, and free-play during training to practice your dribbling.  This is the perfect time to do it since there are no penalties for losing the ball. 

Be creative and dribble!
