Free Soccer Drills: Find a Friend
Find a Friend, another of the free soccer drills for groups of players, is designed for people aged 10 and over. The game works on your turning, dribbling, defending, passing, receiving, movement, balancing, running, communication, decision making and teamwork.
It starts as a two v two game: two sets of two teams in a set area. There are also four target men at each corner of the area. The players in the middle have to complete a pass to a target man to score, whilst the other team tries to defend. The target man then plays the ball to the team that conceeded the point. The team with the most points wins. Then you can swap it over so the target men get a go in the middle.
You can switch this game to 3 v 3, 4 v 4 or even 5 v 5. Instead of this, as a progression, you can switch to having just two target men- one at each end.
How’s that?
