So Caleb had soccer practice last night and I found one of the best drills that I've seen for teaching the kids to dribble and keep the ball away from others.
With the U6 age kids the site I got it from (http://www.coachingsoccer101.com) recommended playing games instead of drills that aren't fun.
The game was called Killer Whale. We actually practiced with a U4 girls team and all the kids played well together. Everyone dribbles around in a set area (we used half the micro soccer field) and the Killer Whale (or Whales) ran around and tried to kick their balls out of bounds to get everyone out. We gave everyone a chance to be the killer whale at least once. We played this for about 20 minutes and no one got bored with it.
For all those soccer dads out there, I thought I'd share. Check out the site too, it has more great little games.
