Soccer drills

  • Dribbling through each other in a small area. Possibly followed by commands. (sitting on the ball, changing ball, ball dead under the foot)
  • two against each other, both have a ball. Dribble towards each other, chop inside and back again (vary which foot to tap).
  • thigh tapping, pairs and one should tap the other on the thigh. The other must try and avoid to be tapped
  • Hang on! Pairs of two, one holds the other from behind to the waist and the front should try to move forward
  • On the back! One goes on the other's back and the runner has to run to the other side
  • This exercise is all about calling and moving.
  • The exercise consists of 4 players in a row. If you have a lot of players, you can make two starting positions.
  • Player A has the ball and plays in on player B. Player B has to call first!
  • Player B takes the ball and passes to player C. Again player C has to call.
  • Player C takes the ball and passes to player D. Player D must also call for the ball.
  • Player D dribbles on to the starting position.
  • From there again as at A. 


Attention:

- Calling first before passing

- Start playing it well

- Control and turn

drawing Passing, controlling, turning and passing again
  • make a field about a quarter of a quarter.
  • Set two small goals opposite each other. Divide the players over the two goals. (With many players you can make two squares)
  • One party has the ball and plays over to the other side.
  • Then the 1 v 1 starts.
  • One side has to attack and defend the other. 
  • It is only allowed to shoot from the pilons towards the goal.
  • If the defending party picks up the ball, the roles can be reversed.
  • By playing this game quickly you practice passing, controlling, attacking, defending.
  • But also on fast shifting, perseverance and insight.
drawing 1 v 1 with tiny goals
  • Team's in a circle.
  • A player in the middle.
  • From inside the circle the player passes to a player on the outside of the circle and gets the ball back.
  • The spot in the middle is taken over by the player from the circle.
drawing Circle pass
  • The 4 groups start at the same time with one ball each
  • Group 1: 

    • A plays to B and takes the place of B. 

    • B controls the ball and dribbles to C, 

    • when he gets to C, he gives the ball to C, 

    • ...who's restarting the exercise. 

    • A runs towards and goes through the hoops, 

    • Join group 2

  • Group 2.

    • Group 2: Same as group 1,

    • to group 3 with warm-up exercises.

  • Group 3:

    • Same as group 1,

    • to group 4 over or through the hedges.

  • Group 4:

  • There will be played 6 against 3.
  • 8: 4, 6:3, 7:3, 7:4, 9:4 or 9:5 is also possible.
  • With more or less players the dimensions have to be adjusted.
  • The 6 may score after 4 replay.
  • The 3 may always try to score.
  • If the ball is intercepted by the trio, if the ball goes into touch or after scoring, there must be
  • to be recounted.

Organization:

  • There will be played 4 against 4 + goalkeeper.
  • If the party that has to score on the big goal has lost the ball, they have to defend 5 goals.
  • After 15 minutes there's a changing of halves.

Remarks:

  • If the triangles' attackers lose the ball, they can very quickly score a counter-goal.
  • Especially the players who don't defend often in the league games won't like this kind of game.

Points of attention:

  • Cover the man in time.
  • Don't go in too quick.
  • Cover on the right side.
  • Posture during the duels, through the knees.

passing-and-sprinting

Field setup:

  • Place 2 x 4 x 2 pilons next to each other so that two streets of pilons are formed.


The course of play:

  • The players have to try to pass exactly through the pilon street and then sprint through it after the ball. 
  • Another player (white) receives the ball and dribbles to the other street. 
  • There this player does exactly the same towards player 3.
  • Player 3 starts again on the same spot as player 1.


Laws of the Game:

  • The ball must pass through the pilon street.
  • If you hit a pilon, you have to sprint to straighten the pilon and try again.
  • The ball must pass all pilons before the receiving player can take it.



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