Soccer drills

• The group is lined up on the short side of the field in a few relays. 
• On a sign they all run to the other side at the same time and sit down as fast as possible in a random order.
• Which line can sit down first?
• Variation
• Varying start and end positions.
• Touching a line on the opposite side, returning and sitting in line again.

• The whole group is lined up behind a line on the side of the field.
• On a signal, they run over to the other side.
• Variation Starting positions: 
  • squat, 
  • sitting on knees 
  • lying on the stomach or back,
  • sit with your back towards the running direction.

• The children run across the room in pairs.
• One child tries to follow the other.
• Variation
• The child at the front has to suddenly change tempo.
• The child in front must always change direction sharply.
• Groups of four or five children.
• Groups of four or five children and on a signal, the child in the back sprints to the front and then indicates the track and speed.

• There are all kinds of obstacles in the field, such as mats, hoops and pylons.
• The trainer leads the way along these obstacles, the children follow him.
• Variation
  • The children run in pairs along these obstacles.
  • They walk backwards.
  • They walk with sideways steps.

• Put out a square.
• Each corner has a colour (hat, jacket, ...).
• When jogging randomly across the field, call out colour and then sprint to the corner. 

Make 4x a square of 10m x15m with 16 players

• 1 player (X) in the middle
• 3 players on the lines of the square with 2 balls
• Player X is played by player A on the corner.
• Player X takes the ball and moves to the other corner of the square and plays player B.
• Player A on the corner runs to the next corner.
• After this player D plays in on X who then takes the ball open again and passes on.
• What follows now is a kind of carousel. 
• The ball always goes crosswise, from one corner to the other.
• Variation in this is to play the other way around.
• Player X controls the ball with his right foot and turns and then continues to pass with the left foot.
• Make sure you stand lightly on the forefeet here.

• There is one tagger without ball and two players without ball.
• The ball is thrown over accurately, so whoever has the ball may not be tagged without it
• The ball may be held for a maximum of ten seconds.
• If the tagger has intercepted a ball, the ball goes out of play.
• If you are tagged, you go to the side when no. 2 comes to the side, no. 1 goes back into the game

• Player plays the ball in the feet of a fellow player, this player plays the ball back.
• Player runs in on the ball and plays on the second player who is on the 16 metre line.
• This player also plays the ball back.
• First player runs in and shoots at goal
• Always make a feint move.

• Make sure you respond quickly and cleanly
• Also pay attention to the ball and running line

Cross behind the defense.

• Let the players start running slowly
• Then let them take longer steps

• This is a good exercise for conditioning: 
• The group has to stand in a row and you let them start dribbling slowly. 
• As soon as the trainer blows his whistle, the last one of the row should run forwards. 
• You do this until everyone has been there and then you let them run out of the round.
