6. Dribbling and trickery
Dribbling is invaluable in the third part of a pitch or at the wings, where most attacks take place. It creates space in tight situations where the dribbler is marked (closely guarded by a defender), and the dribbler can either score or create scoring chances after a successful dribble.
Trickerry is a movement excuted without direct ball contact in which the player faints movements with his arms, legs, hips and feet

Players – To play with one ball between two with player and partner in different coloured bibs
 Start - Players to have a number of attempts then all of the opposition players now become the attackers
Key Factors
Players to play with their heads up to be aware of opposition
Opponents must be passive and allow the dribbling technique to achieve success
Players with the ball to attempt the highlighted dribbling technique with assistance from their partner and their coach
Players must experiment to find their own method of carrying out the technique with an opposition player against them
Players and coach must be patient but also persist until confidence starts to show
Coach to give feedback and praise players who achieve or attempt to achieve
Defenders must be passive at all times

12. Dribbling practice 3 OT OT Organisation
Area of Play – To suit age ability and number of players
Start of Play
 X attackers with the ball
O defenders passive to begin then active
OT target players can move along the line to receive the ball from O defenders if they can win/steal the ball
X attackers then go and retrieve the ball from OT players
Any O defender can only pressure any O attacker for a few seconds then they must switch to another attacker
At any time, the O defenders can switch with OT target players
The coach, guided by the success of the group, can switch
O players with X players
Key Factors 
Attacking players to play with heads up - awareness
Decision making – what angle the defender is pressurising from and how will the dribble move help
Players must think of possession/screening but must also be positive – can they trick their opponent and gain space and time
Attacking players should be allowed to experiment and use variations of the technique they are attempting
As the session progresses, allow the active defenders to try harder to win/steal the ball
If O defenders win the ball, can they dribble or pass to OT target players before switching and giving the ball back to X players OT
