Take-Overs: Training Game U-8 Players

This document provides instructions for a dribbling and ball control drill called "Take-Overs" for a U-8 soccer team. Players are split into pairs and move around a 30x30 yard grid, with half having a ball. The coach yells "takeover" every 10-15 seconds, at which point the players with the ball perform a takeover move to exchange possession with their partner. The coach can vary the drill by having players pass before performing the takeover.
