Soccer drills

  • Dribbling through each other in a small area. Possibly followed by commands. (sitting on the ball, changing ball, ball dead under the foot)

  • thigh tapping, pairs and one should tap the other on the thigh. The other must try and avoid to be tapped
  • Hang on! Pairs of two, one holds the other from behind to the waist and the front should try to move forward
  • On the back! One goes on the other's back and the runner has to run to the other side
  • This exercise is all about calling and moving.
  • The exercise consists of 4 players in a row. If you have a lot of players, you can make two starting positions.
  • Player A has the ball and plays in on player B. Player B has to call first!
  • Player B takes the ball and passes to player C. Again player C has to call.
  • Player C takes the ball and passes to player D. Player D must also call for the ball.
  • Player D dribbles on to the starting position.
  • From there again as at A. 


Attention:

- Calling first before passing

- Start playing it well

- Control and turn

drawing Passing, controlling, turning and passing again
  • make a field about a quarter of a quarter.
  • Set two small goals opposite each other. Divide the players over the two goals. (With many players you can make two squares)
  • One party has the ball and plays over to the other side.
  • Then the 1 v 1 starts.
  • One side has to attack and defend the other. 
  • It is only allowed to shoot from the pilons towards the goal.
  • If the defending party picks up the ball, the roles can be reversed.
  • By playing this game quickly you practice passing, controlling, attacking, defending.

trying-to-get-the-ball-back-as-fast-as-possible

Organization:

  • There will be played 4 against 4 + goalkeeper.
  • If the party that has to score on the big goal has lost the ball, they have to defend 5 goals.
  • After 15 minutes there's a changing of halves.

Remarks:

  • If the triangles' attackers lose the ball, they can very quickly score a counter-goal.
  • Especially the players who don't defend often in the league games won't like this kind of game.

Points of attention:

  • Cover the man in time.
  • Don't go in too quick.
  • Cover on the right side.
  • Posture during the duels, through the knees.
