Soccer Drills

 

freeze tag (or 'stuck in the mud')

from JoeSoccer

an excellent soccer coaching game for young children (or use it as a warm up for any age group).

Easy to explain, fun and fast moving, freeze tag (or 'stuck in the mud') never fails.

 

 Playing ..
  • Select 1 player who is "it"

  • Mark off a grid with cones 10 yards X 10 yards

  • Each of the remaining players should be standing in the grid with a ball waiting for the coaches whistle.

  • On the coaches whistle, the player who is "it" tags "freezes" as many players as possible

  • If a player is tagged, he/she must pick the football up, hold it over their head and spread their legs. They should be encouraged to shout 'help!' as loud as possible.

  • To get "unfrozen" another player (teammate) must dribble to and pass the ball
    through the spread legs of the "frozen player".

  • Once the player is "unfrozen", he/she resumes dribbling in the grid.

  • If a player dribbles the ball outside of the grid, that player is "frozen".

 Coaching Points
  • Players must dribble and keep close control of their ball.

  • Players must keep their head up and see where the "tagger" is located.

  • Players must dribble away from the "tagger" and dribble toward teammates
    who need to be "unfrozen".

 Competition, Variations & Restrictions:

Coach should keep track of 'records', i.e.:

  • in how many seconds can a "tagger" freeze all the players?
  • the most number of players still "frozen" after a 30-45 second time frame.
