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.
