Being able to take on a player/beat an opponent to create a goal or score yourself is a brilliant skill to have. Every player with this sort of ability loves to show it off by dribbling with the ball whenever they can.

In this section we will be looking at soccer drills specially designed to show the players when and where to run with the ball or dribble. It’s vital that the players understand the best areas of the pitch in which to dribble and attack the oppositions defence. We’ll also look at what should be done once they beat their man as obviously there’s not much point in being able to dribble if you can’t pass, shoot or cross!

A positive mental attitude in these soccer drills are a must as the players will learn that they won’t dribble past a player 100% of the time, to learn to get over failure on the pitch is very important.

In this section of attacking soccer drills we will be looking at :

  1. Learning how to dummy, shift weight to pass an opponent
  2. Burst of speed into space, change of direction
  3. Positive first touch.
  4. Head up, accessing options and making the right decisions.

    Can’t wait to read more about this. The players on my team are good dribblers but just need to learn when to pass!
