ZOMBIES! Fun Kids Soccer Drill for soccer coaches

This is a fun drill that gives the players a chance to work on their dribbling skills and turns. And it gives the parents/coaches a chance to act like a zombie!

• Set up a square field (30x30 yards).

• Ask any parents/coaches standing around to join in. They will be the “obstacles” for the children to avoid and will be walking around the square with their arms outstretched like a zombie, saying zombie things like “Braiiinsss” “Graaaghhh” “Childreeenn” “Bananaaaa” and other stupid things or just general grunting noises.

• Each player has a ball and must dribble around the square avoiding the zombies.

• If a player gets too close, zombies should lightly kick their ball so they will learn to keep closer control. Or slightly push/bump the player to test their control and balance under pressure.

• Make sure players are looking around as they dribble and practice turns and changes of direction.

WHAT TO FOCUS ON:

• Players keep close ball control so zombies can’t get the ball.

• Use changes of direction to avoid the zombies.

• Keep their heads up when they can to avoid other players and zombies.

CHANGE IT:

#1 Make the area bigger or smaller depending on skill level/number of players plus the number of zombies.

#2 Make the zombies walk faster or slower depending on the level of players.

#3 If a player gets touched by a zombie they have to do 5 toe-taps and then they can continue dribbling.

Summary of “Zombies” :

• Players must dribble around in a marked area and try not to get their ball kicked by one of the Zombies walking around!

• Players should be using turns and keeping the ball on the outside of their body away from the Zombies

• In the above image, the 4 yellow Zombies are walking around slowly providing a moving obstacle for the kids to dribble around or practice doing a turn to get away
