This Session has been designed for players of all ages and abilities to improve their Awareness, First Touch and Dribbling Confidence - making sure they look up and make every touch count!
To keep your players motivated we've included a few fun games along the way to keep your players interested, alert and willing to work hard throughout the entirety of this Dribbling Session!
In addition to this we also find time to squeeze in a Turning exercise which will test your players' ability to turn on a sixpence and will give you the ideal opportunity to introduce younger players to moves such as the Cruyff turn, first used by Johan Cruyff back in 1974 (yes it was that long ago)!
Through a series of fun drills this session moves quickly as aim to get your team moving quickly around the pitch to support the player on the ball and offer them an outlet whilst also improving their ability to receive the ball and tee themselves up for either a dribble or the next pass to a team-mate.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
