Dribbling – U5, U6, U8 - Alligator

Setup the field so there are 2 end lines approximately 20 yards apart. The coach or a designated player starts in the middle as the 'Alligator'. All of the other players have a ball on one end of the field. The object of the game is for the players to dribble from one end of the field to the other without allowing the Alligator to kick their ball out of play. If a player's ball is kicked out of the field of play, he is then added to the Alligator group. Continue until all players have had their balls kicked out of the field of play.

This drill teaches dribbling while paying attention to the other players on the field. It helps the players dribble with eyes up and not constantly on the ball.
