[quote=NOVASoccerCoach][quote=Anonymous]Coach - what's the most successful drills you've used to help U9/10 keep their head up when receiving/dribbling/passing the ball? Thanks![/quote] Hey- So this is also a huge misconception. At U8/U9/U10 it is completely normal for players to keep looking at the ball while they are dribbling/passing etc. especially if they just started playing soccer. As they become more familiar with the ball at their feet, they will start to look up more. In a team setting, good dribbling exercises for this would be getting the whole team to dribble in a tight space, so then players have to make sure not to run into anyone (therefore looking up). I usually encourage players at this age to just start taking peeks and looking up to see where there are going and what's in front of them. Also, playing in regular soccer games will help them because obviously there are defenders. [/quote]
