The purpose of this soccer game it help improve a players’ passing and dribbling skills
Set up

How it works
Get every player into pairs with one ball in each pair, one player becomes the truck and the other player becomes the trailer.
The truck will be the leader without a soccer ball; they must try and get as far away from the trailer as possible.
The trailer has the soccer ball and they must stay as close to the truck as they can while dribbling the soccer ball. When the coach shouts ‘Freeze’ the truck and the trailer must standstill.
The truck then must face the trailer and open its legs, the trailer must then try to pass the soccer ball between the truck’s legs. If they successfully do this they get a point and swap around the pair roles.
