Tail tag with a ball

U7 Dribbling and 1v1Activation and warm-up

Children dribble in a 25×20 m area with bib tails while two dribbling catchers try to pull them; nobody is eliminated.

Tail tag with a ball 25×20 m C Skill cone Team A Opponent Coach Dribble / carry Press
Tail tag with a ball: everyone dribbles with a bib tucked into the back of the shorts. Two catchers (red, also dribbling) try to pull tails. A child who loses a tail keeps playing and earns it back with a skill at the coach's cone.

Rules

  • Every child has a ball and a bib tucked in the back of the shorts
  • Two catchers, also dribbling, try to pull tails; change catchers every 60–90 s
  • A child who loses a tail dribbles to the coach's cone, does a skill and takes it back
  • 30 s rest between rounds

To make it easier

  • Catchers play without a ball

To make it harder

  • Catchers dribble and players must also keep their own ball to stay in

Coaching points

  • Find the space away from the catchers
  • Use the ball to escape quickly
