Soccer drills for technique condition

  • 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. 
  • 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


finishing-and-condition

  • 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


speed-exercise

  • 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
  • Put 4 pilons in a T-shape. 
  • 5 meters next to each other (between 3.2 and 4) and 10 meters ahead (between 1 and 2)
    • Start at 1 forward to 2, 
    • then left sideways to 3, 
    • then right sideways to 4, 
    • then left sideways to 2 
    • and backwards to 1.
  • Write down the fastest time in 2 attempts.
  • Players work in pairs. 1 runs, 1 times.



  • Make a set of three.
  • One of three in the middle.
  • The two outer ones always play the ball in on the player in the middle.
  • The player in the middle runs back and forth between 2 pilons. 
  • At the pilon the ball has to be bounced back.
