Under 12 Drill - "Take Over"


This drill helps in teaching the "take over" pass, which exactly what it is - another player taking over for another.

Organization:
  1. Player 1 dribbles through the middle and towards another player, in this case Player 2.
  2. Player 2 moves towards the ball and shouts "TAKE!"
  3. Player 1 on hearing this leaves the ball and allows the ball off to someone else.
  4. When doing the take it must be performed right foot to right foot or left foot to left foot.

Coaching Points:

  1. Keep the ball close
  2. Head Up
  3. Good Communication
  4. Confuses other team allowing change of direction
