SHARK ATTACK IMPROVE FOOTBALL DRIBBLING SKILLS
This game is called Shark Attack! - based on Shark by Bill Blyth.
Objective: To improve dribbling skills, (especially keeping close control of the ball and playing with head up), turning with the ball and shielding the ball from pressure.
Set-up: Mark a playing circle appropriate to the size of the group. If using a dozen 10-year-olds, 20 yards across is ideal.
Every player has a ball and goes inside the circle except for two players - the Sharks - who don't have a ball and stay outside the circle.
How to play
SHARK ATTACK IMPROVE FOOTBALL DRIBBLING SKILLS:
- Players dribble their ball around inside the circle and the two Sharks jog around the perimeter.
- On your signal, the Sharks have 10 seconds to kick as many balls out the circle as possible.
- Any players who lose their ball leave the circle and join the Sharks for the next attack.
- The last two players left dribbling are the winners and they become the Sharks at the start of the next game.
