Overview

This video presents ten fun and engaging soccer drills for Under-6 players, focusing on developing fundamental skills like dribbling, shooting, agility, and coordination in a playful, game-like environment. The drills use creative themes and simple rules to keep young children motivated and entertained while they learn.

Key takeaways

• Space Wars: A dribbling and shooting drill where players "vaporize" the coach by hitting them with the ball below the knee. It emphasizes precision over power and keeping heads up.
• Island Hopping: Players dribble between "islands" (cones) while avoiding "pirates" (coaches or designated players). This drill focuses on finding open space and making quick decisions.
• Hospital Tag: Players dribble while trying to tag each other. When tagged, they must hold the tagged spot and continue dribbling, progressing to holding multiple spots if tagged again, which challenges balance.
• Minions: Players dribble and try to "recruit" other minions by hitting them with the ball below the knee, with new players joining the "minion" team upon being hit. This focuses on close dribbling and accuracy.
• Freeze Tag: A classic game adapted for soccer, where players dribble and avoid being tagged. Frozen players can be "unfrozen" by teammates with toe taps. This works on dribbling and changing direction.
• Dancing Ball: Players dribble between cones, practicing various skills and "dancing" with the ball. This develops coordination, agility, and functional movement.
• Around the World: Players dribble from one "country" (cone) to another, practicing different soccer skills along the way. This enhances coordination, agility, and skill execution.
• Body Part Dribbling: Players dribble while touching the ball with specified body parts, adding a listening and coordination challenge.
• Red Light, Green Light: Players dribble when "green light" is called, slow down on "yellow light," and stop with a foot on the ball on "red light." This works on dribbling control and reaction.
• Ducktales (Tail Tag): Players dribble while trying to steal a "tail" (penny) from opponents' shorts while protecting their own. This develops agility, coordination, and facing opponents.
