Vinland Valley Soccer Association
Soccer Drills
Ouch!

Setup
Build a grid 20X30 (may adjust if too large or small). Every player must be in the grid with a ball.
Instructions
The coach jogs around in the grid and players try to kick their balls and hit the coach. The players get a point each time they hit the coach. The coach should yell OUCH each time they are hit to make the game FUN.
Variations
- If the players are struggling to hit the coach, the coach should stop for a couple seconds to give the players a chance.
- Use different parts of the foot: Inside, Instep, Right and Left foot.
Coaching Points
- Encourage players to get their head up and look for the coaches while dribbling.
- Make sure the players are striking the ball with the proper part of the foot.
