Soccer drills
- Defenders at first and second posts, defenders in front of the goal and catch the attackers.
- Attackers move forward as soon as the ball is played high.
- In the following exercises it is important that the players keep moving.
- A fast circulation of the ball is important.
- When acting didactically, you can add resistance for the players if the exercise is carried out correctly
- A third variation within this exercise is letting the players choose for themselves
- The player 8/7 together with the 6 and the 10 make the choice between variant 1 and 2.
- Exercise that can be used to practise short and long passing
- Advanced players can play in one time
- Each player moves to set up a 1-2
- 1 passes to 2
- 2 passes back on 1 and 1 plays on 3
- 3 passes back on 2 and 2 plays on 4
- ...
- 6 passes back on 5 and 5 plays in depth on 6
- 6 finishes off, gets the ball and joins the line
- Middle player speeds up to goal with ball at his foot and finishes on target
- Returns to blue pilon (sprint), passes and gets the ball back from the player at the red pilon
- Red takes the ball along the flank to the back line
- Meanwhile the one that started goes back towards goal and asks the ball from other flank while running
- Takes the ball on and finishes (outside the rectangle).
- Right flank and attacker dive in the box and finish the cross coming from the left flank
- The following exercise contains a lot of speed, agility, coordination, passing and even duelling.
- A speed exercise that can be done at any time of the training.
- Any age group can do this exercise. There are enough variations possible that you can apply yourself.
- With the younger and even the older groups the FUN aspect is also very pleasant.
- You can apply this form of exercise to different distances. It is especially important to look at your age group and what you want to achieve.
- Both players A leave with shoulder to shoulder until they're between the poles.
- (1), They then accelerate around the pilon and go back to the stick
- (2,3). Behind the stick, they go sideways over the hurdles
- (4). Again they go behind the stick and accelerate forward to the stick that's the furthest away.
- (5). Back to the other pole again
- (6) to then get a ball played in from B
- (7) on which A finishes on target
- (8).Player who finishes first wins.
- In the older ages you can have the loser do push-ups or do an extra job.
- At younger ages you add up the points.
- A takes the place of B and B goes to A.
- As a variation, you can have players B throw up the ball so that A has to head the ball inside the goal.
- As you can see, it is all about speed, agility and coordination
- Whoever wins, it's always fun and hard work is done
- Have fun with this speed exercise and let us know what you thought of it
- Make two teams.
- The goal is to get the ball to the other side of the line.
- You do this by standing in planking position and then pushing the ball to the other who is further along in planking position
- Then run on to the front and stand in planking position again and wait for the ball to arrive
- The team that is first on the other side wins
- Scoring by shooting / passing towards a pilon
- Controlling a rolling ball in front of or on the line
- Good first touch (keep the ball under control)
- Pass with inside foot / instep towards the pilon
- Choose position to receive the ball
- Make sure that you pay attention not only to the player who is passing, but also to the player at the other side that has to control the ball
- An alternative may be not to work with individual scores, but with a score per pair. The couple that gets the most points wins
- Scoring by dribbling across the goal line
- Playing out of the situation through good positional play
- Ball control in the positional play
- Act fast, be able to pass directly
- Keep an overview of the situations for moving the game and choosing the moment and direction of the passing action
- Cutting off the opponent's pass and keeping them off the ball
- Coaching defenders to cut the line off the pass
- Defenders coach on giving coverage (standing diagonally behind each other)
- Both teams can score in a big goal
- When the ball is out, dribble or play the ball back in play
- Whenever a goal is scored, goal kick or corner kick, the goalkeeper starts his own goal.
- (Possibly) substituting after every goal, goal kick or corner kick
- Both teams can score in a big goal with goalkeeper
- When the ball is out, the attackers play the ball back in, play or dribble in front of the defenders
- At a corner kick or goalkick, start at the goalkeeper of the trio
- Double score when the pair scores
- When the ball goes back in play by the goaldefender, he no longer participates in the game.
- Over time, the teams change.
- Dribble to the player right in front of you. Just before the players reach the middle, they change direction 180 degrees and try to pass the player across the line.
- The defender may come off the line as soon as the attacker has cut the ball.
- Attacker scores a point when the ball is dribbled across the starting line
- Defender scores a point when the ball is dribbled outside the field
- When the ball is out, or when a point is scored, switch functions
