Improve Players of Different Abilities through Flexible Scoreboard Drills

by David Baird

Description

When facilitating games at practice do you find it challenging working with a wide range of ability levels? Do you have players who get the lion’s share of the ball? Are there individuals that you find difficult to engage in the game? Are you looking for ways to bring a specific topic, skill or attribute to the surface within games? Do you ask yourself how you can get your players to:

• Dribble the ball
• Pass and move
• Spread out
• Communicate
• Follow in for rebound
• Hustle back
• Tackle
• Show determination
• Never give up

… This list could be exhaustive. Through the novel concept of Scoreboard Soccer, which involves running fun and motivational activities in conjunction with small sided games, you may be able to tackle some of the barriers to player development mentioned above.
