These are the characteristics of all good soccer drills:
1. Soccer drills should support the theme of the practice session.
2. Make sure that the soccer drills you use are age appropriate
for your team members. Soccer drills must match the age as well
as competitive level. Older players need competitive soccer drills,
focused on developing expertise and accomplishment. Younger players
should have fun and motivational soccer drills.
3. The most successful soccer drills are easy to explain and demonstrate.
4. Choose soccer drills with a design appropriate for the space
and equipment you have available.
5. You should be able to adapt the soccer drills as the players
go through them, to add or reduce the complexity.
6. Always watch to see that improvement is made from the beginning
of soccer drills, to the end. That way you know the players have
learned something from your soccer drills.
7. Keep in mind that soccer drills are supposed to be relevant to
game situations, and the information that your players gain from
soccer drills must be easily translated to a game. You will be able
to test this at the end of practice with a quick game of scrimmage.
8. No matter the age of your team, soccer drills should be able
to keep each player’s attention and interest. Keep your players
moving with a ball during soccer drills as much as possible.
9. Always end soccer drills on a successful note for the players!
A few good examples of soccer drills:
1. Hurdles. This is a great way to improve agility and muscle flexibility
in your players. If you do not have real track hurdles, use the
orange cones that are available in sporting stores, cut two rectangular
indents in the tip of the cone, and use a wooden board or branch
to make a hurdle.
2. Dribble in a square game.
3. 1v2 or 1v2 skills.
