Soccer drill procedure
Not every trainer likes a complicated training introduction. We would like to give you an example how you can create an easy but interesting drill sequence. The numbers refer to the displayed numbers in the animation. You need at least two teams to make sure that the sequences work also under 3. Extensions are possible, but you will need two more groups each. Theplayers who stand diagonal to each other, get a ball.
Description
• 1. The diagonal teams dribble back and forth, the ball is passed sensitively.
• 2. The player without ball approaches the dribbler, he passes the ball half-way without stopping.
• 3. After dribbling to the diagonal team, the ball is put down. The next player dribbles then diagonal to the next team, then again back to the opposite team, then again diagonal and so on.
Variations
- Every start player gets a ball, which makes it more difficult
- After arriving in the center, integrate passing
Soccer coach tips
- Improving of ball control, secure passing
- Increase the speed slowly

Pre-season is your one window to build a real engine. This July, ditch the endless laps and learn how to condition your players with a ball at their feet.
A clear game model turns a squad into a team. Use pre-season to decide who you want to be, then train it every single week so your side is recognisable from the first whistle.
Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
