Soccer drills

• Building to create opportunities, scoring goals
• Make the space to play as large as possible - width - depth
• Think deep and play deep if possible
• Keep the ball
• Principle: Width play serves as preparation / introduction / depth pass
• Optimal field utilization

Do you want to get in better shape? You can, but it takes a few things.

• What do you need?
  • Pawns 
  • Football 
  • Clothes you can sport in  
  • Staircase 
• First of all, it is important that you make sure you warm up before you start working on your cardio!
• What should you do?
  • Run 2 pawns forward 1 to the back and repeat this every time. 
    • Do that 2x
  • Grab the ball and run 5 rounds with the ball. 
    • This will ensure ball control and as well as do something about your condition.
  • You can also do exercises indoors for your fitness, like running up and down the stairs 5 times. 
• Of course you can also give your own twist to how you want to do it, but I think this is the best and nicest way to improve it. 
• Don't try to run fast on the first day without stopping and take small steps!

• Make a square with pylons in which butter cheese and eggs can be played
• form two groups
• use 6 jackets, 3 yellow and 3 green
• Play butter cheese and eggs with the jackets 

Field setup:

Set up 2 x 2 pawns per group of 2 players. Every 2 players get 1 ball.

Gameplay:

The ball is thrown up by one player and kicked back by the other. The following variants must be practised.

Variants:

• Head the ball back into the hands of the player.
• Head the ball over the player.
• Head the ball through the ground towards the player.
• 
  

Tips:

• Make sure you head from your neck and don't just let the ball bounce on your head.
• Always tighten your arm muscles and move your head towards the ball.

• Positional defending needs to be very good
• Forcing opponent to play wide
• Take away ball
• Keep seeing the ball
• Without fouls preventing the scoring of the opponent
• Keeping an overview, seeing more than just direct opponent (covering your back)
• Working together (creating small spaces) to hold up the other party
• Start dribbling immediately
• Act fast, try to pass directly

• Positional defending needs to be very good
• Forcing opponent to play wide
• Take away the ball
• Defend close to each other / mutual distances
• Recognize the right moment to attack the ball
• Active defense
• Game can move under pressure of the defenders

• Player 1 and Player 2 start dribbling at the same time. 
• At the end they pass through pawns to the other side. 
• The next player receives the ball and starts dribbling.

• Attackers can score in a big goal
• Defenders must intercept the ball ( prevention of goals)
• The middle player of the attackers starts with the ball and plays the ball to one side
• On the side, the outside player plays one-on-one with the defender, a cross follows with the center attacker and the outside player from the other side closing in on the goal.
• If the defenders get rid of the ball, the attackers turn and a new attacker plays the ball to the other side.
• When the defenders have intercepted the ball three times, the defenders switch between them

• The idea is to be able to play a game in corona time.
• The idea comes from a table soccer game
• Each player has his own space they are not allowed to leave.
• By passing, the ball can be brought to the other player
• Defense is allowed as long as it remains in his/her own discipline.
• The field can be adjusted to the number of players

Further goals:

• Passing
• Positioning game
• Shooting Distance

• The exercise can be made more difficult by making the game faster
• By only hitting the ball 2 or 3 times and playing quickly
• After all, during a match you don't have that much time either

• Walk over the field in 2 numbers. 
• Both players hold one end of a rope (1.5 meters).
• Once the attacker determines the pace and direction. 
• As soon as the rope is released when it comes to tension, the attacker has a point. 
• Defender may only hold the rope loosely.

• All players jog in over the field (square)
• Half the number of players has a ball
• players with ball pass the ball to a player without ball (eye contact).
• The players are not allowed to keep the ball with them for longer than 5 sec.

• At the moment the trainer whistles (signal), all players without a ball sprint as fast as possible to the closest player who has a ball and try to take it away.
• The player who has the ball should try to fence it off. (1:1 duel)
• When the trainer blows the whistle again we switch back to jogging and passing!

Nice variant is when you have an odd number of players, the player who can't find a direct opponent gets a command (for example sprint over the width of the field).

• The players line up in a circle, 
• Ideal is 6 to 8 players per circle. 
• Per circle you only have one ball.

EXECUTION:

• A player plays the ball to another player, chasing the ball towards the player he is playing. 
• The second player receives the ball and plays it back to another player in the circle, 
• He, too, will chase the ball towards the player he has just played in. 
• This keeps repeating itself.

QUALITY:

• Passes must be clear and accurate.
• The passes are played over the ground, keep the ball low!
• Just after the pass the players accelerate (short sprint)
• Players call the name of the player they want to play in
• All players constantly stand on their toes, not on flat feet, to improve the speed of action.

PROGRESS:

• You can make the game more difficult by hitting once.
• You can play with two balls
• Player 1, who has given the pass, should try to tap the player who has played the pass (player 2) before playing the ball to player 3, etc.
