Week 3: U6/7/8
Review of dribbling and passing.

Warm Up:

Dribble Grid/Square Dance (review that when dribbling with defenders keep the ball close with lots of touches) get them using all parts of their feet including the sole to roll it back and forth, toe taps (storks), stopping and turning etc..

Transition into players passing ball to a partner within the grid. Encourage them to be moving around the grid (rather than standing in one place) and passing to partner. You may have them run around a cone and then receive a pass, then the passer runs around a cone to receive a pass. 

Game: Coach Can Play
20x15 field. Two goals, two teams, but coach always plays for the team that has the ball and models good movement and passing skills. Do not be afraid to stop the game and have players spread out to become more available to receive a pass. 

Shark (where if they have their ball taken away by you they become a shark with you) play it British Bull dog style where all the fish have to get to the reef on the other side without the shark getting their ball...if you the shark gets their ball then they become a shark with you.  Fish swim when the sharks call out SHARK!!

Circle dance:
Half of the players on outside of circle with a ball each at their feet. Other half of group on the inside of circle. Players on inside receive and return passes from players on the outside. Focus on firm, accurate passes.  


Choose one or two activities from the previous two weeks.

Game: Good old soccer game for 10-15.
