Flag Frenzy
Purpose
This drill is designed to enhance dribbling skills, team coordination, and spatial awareness within a fun and competitive framework.
Setup
- Set up a 20x20 yard field marked with cones.
- Each player needs one soccer ball and a flag (like a pinnie) tucked into their waistband.
- The flag should be long enough to be easy to grab.
How To Play
- Players must dribble their assigned soccer balls within the marked area while trying to collect flags from other players.
- Players are not allowed to hold their flags but must dribble their balls when moving around.
- The activity starts with a whistle, and players aim to gather as many flags as possible.
- When time is called, players count the flags they’ve collected.
Coaching Points
- Encourage teamwork and communication to coordinate strategies for collecting flags.
- Highlight the importance of keeping heads up to maintain awareness of surrounding players.
- Remind players to stay balanced and agile while dribbling to evade opponents.
- Praise creativity in flag retrieval tactics and defense.
