U-07 Practice Ideas

1) Go Get it - Punt ball, go get it using two hands, 4 elbows, 7 fingers, two heads, eventually 4 feet passing. Have them be in pairs of two, each two needs a ball. They go and get the ball bringing it back however you say, and then they have to hand it to you.

2) Pac-Man Two players with ball, others without, in a grid have to pass and hit players below waist, if hit then you become a pac-man also, until winner. If you kick your ball and miss, you got to chase.

3) Hospital Tag. Everyone has a scrimmage vest tucked in the side of there pants (hanging out) remember to stress the side and not the front. Dribble your ball, steal peoples scrimmage vest when your scrimmage vest has been stolen, go to the hospital, make a box for the hospital, have the players do 10 ping-pongs and then they are back in to steal scrimmage vest. The person with most scrimmage vest wins can also be done in teams.

4) Broken Eggs- Turn some disks upside down, those disks are frying pans. Each ball is an egg, when you say scramble your egg, players dribble to a cone and using the sole of there foot, fry the ball on the pan, rubbing it back and forth. When you say sunny side up, the toss it up, trap it and then go to a pan.

5) Get out of there. Two teams, 4 small goals one the ends of a rectangular field. Play 2-2.You pass balls in from sideline to start the game. If one team gets scored on they start with the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds you toss another one in. If you score you stay, if you get scored on you are out. If the ball goes out of bounds both teams are out. Have players line up on the 2 outside cones of the goals.

6) Gate Dribbling. Make three yard gates with cones; have them dribble through them, keep count. Can also do gate passing.

7) Number Dribbling- Hold on number, players shout out number. Can also change into get into groups of a certain number with your ball depending on what you hold up

8) Stop and Go- Players dribble at speed, when coach yells stop (after demonstrating how to stop) players stop, when coach says Go players go, then have players invent there own stop and go.
