Dribbling End Zones

Set Up:

• Make a 25 x 20 yd. field with a 3 yd. scoring zone on each end.
• The teams play 4 v 4 and score by dribbling into the end zone. Once a goal is scored, the opposing team re-starts the game from their end zone.
• Players are not allowed to pass forward, only sideways or backwards. To move the ball forward, they have to dribble it.

Coaching Points:

1.  Look to take on defenders 1 v 1.

2.  Even if you lose the 1 v 1, try again the next time you get the opportunity.

3.  Players must change both speed and direction in order to beat defenders.

Progressions:

1.  Allow forward passes, but every forward pass must be followed by a back pass.
