Circle Tag 🔵⚽ Outwit 🧠 and outlast 🏃‍♂️ your opponent to win! Designate one player as the tagger - in this case it's grey - and have them try to catch and tag their opponent. Neither player is allowed inside the circle, but both can run in either direction around the shape. Keep going until the player has been caught, then switch! For an added challenge, change from a circle shape to a figure-8 8️⃣, giving players more options to evade the tagger. Encourage players to look up and scan 👀 in order to spot and evade their opponent (or use an opportunity to slow down and catch their breath 💨). #soccer # football #soccerdrills #footballdrills #youthsoccer #fitness #soccercoach #footballcoach #grassrootscoaching #soccertraining #footballsessions #dribbling #runningwiththeball #soccerfitness #footballfitness

Endless Tag 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Compete against your teammates to prove yourself while building your fitness and ball control! Another easy drill to set up; all you need are some cones and a couple of footballs ⚽ One team works from blue cone to blue cone, while the other team works between the grey cones, chasing each other around the area. At first, the grey team acts as the chaser, but once both runners reach their coloured cones, they turn and run in the other direction, with blue acting as the chaser. Teams keep running until one team catches the other. To practice dribbling fast, you can ask players to zig-zag in and out of the cones while chasing each other. If you want to test your player's fitness even more, have them work individually rather than in teams and change direction every time they reach their coloured cone. #soccer # football #soccerdrills #footballdrills #youthsoccer #fitness #soccercoach #footballcoach #grassrootscoaching #soccertraining #footballsessions #dribbling #runningwiththeball #soccerfitness #footballfitness

Catch Me If You Can! 💨💨 A simple drill to get players running with the ball - building their aerobic fitness without them even noticing! All you need for this is a ball and some cones. ⚽ Teams start on opposite corners of a square, and one at a time run around the outside of the square with the ball, trying to catch up with the other team. (If one team is catching up too quickly, try adding the command turn to switch direction) The variation combines dribbling and running with the ball in one exercise, helping players to practice their skills and appreciate the difference between the two. #soccer # football #soccerdrills #footballdrills #youthsoccer #fitness #soccercoach #footballcoach #grassrootscoaching #soccertraining #footballsessions #dribbling #runningwiththeball #soccerfitness #footballfitness
