Soccer drills
- 3 white players remain standing.
- Center player may have position taken over by front side though.
- White players are always in team ball possession.
- We assume 1x hit. Maximum 2x.
- If blue takes the ball, they make it big quickly.
- Red conquers the ball and makes it small quickly.
- Starting in circle center line.
- Number 10 offers but chooses which side.
- Other players must therefore pay close attention. Depending on that choice, we assume left at green hat or right at orange hat.
- In this example the green hat is on the left.
- Number 10 offers and passes the ball to number 6. He immediately passes to the right sacked striker.
- At the moment the sagging striker is played in, the other striker begins his run.
- The striker again has a choice:
- Dropping on the returning number 10
- Immediately play into the flank.
Continued if choice 1:
- Number 10 pokes the flank midfielder away by a deep pass towards the corner.
- The other flank midfielder starts his run to eventually end up at point 16, about the time the cross is going to be delivered.
The crosser then has 3 choices:
- First post -> run-through 'cross' striker.
- Second post -> passed flanker
- Edge 16 -> runaway sagging striker
Continued if choice 2:
- The sagging striker plays the ball tightly into the feet of the midfielder trapped on the touchline. The midfielder is then left with two options:
- A stab pass to the crooked second striker who has run out behind the sagging striker.
- An early cross toward the far point 16, here the other midfielder connects and lays the ball wide to the striker.
Dribbling exercises:
- Dribbling around the pawns, close together with 1 foot inside-outside foot
- Dribbling around the pawns, close together with 2 feet,
- going left, right foot inside foot, left foot outside side, etc.
- then to the right, left foot inside side, right foot inside side
- 4 pawns in diamond, start and go as in picture tightly past the pawns and same route back.
- Make a quadrant with 4 pawns, dribble tightly around them, left and right turns
- 8 pawns in four squares, two opposite each other.
- Dribble between the pawns from 1 to 2 and back, 1 to 3 and back 1 to 4 and back.
- On reversals cut off or behind stand leg as quickly as possible.
- Divide the players into 2 groups of 3 versus 3.
- When the defending, red, side takes over the ball, they must play through the lines.
- There new 3v3 is created.
- If odd number then put a player at the level of the 16 who is the only one allowed to play in both squares, with the currently ball-possessing side.

The exercise is performed in two groups.
Exercise revolves around keeping pace with the ball. Running through without the ball.
- Running through alphabetically (ABCDE).
- Exercise:
- A to E
- E drops to B (and E runs through outside)
- B to C
- C to D
- D in the run at E
- E finishes in (mini) goalmouth.
Both sides same exercise.

Coaching:
- Starting on time.
- Play the ball hard to the team-mate.
- Move on immediately.
- Short Rondo prior to training to get warm.
- 2 laps around half court.
- Goalkeeper in goal. All balls in starting zone.
- One player has free starting ball which is compulsorily played into Phase 1.
- After ball lands in Phase 1, starting player joins in box. This becomes 4v4.
- In the intermediate line is one player that the defending team is not allowed to enter. That is used to move the game from Phase 1 to Phase 2.
- The player in the intermediate line then joins in Phase 2 for a 3v3.
- If the defensive side takes the ball away then they set up the counter to the small goal.
- This remains 3v3 and 4v4, the boxes being the boundaries.
Does attacking take over the ball from defending then everyone recovers their position and we start again.
