Coaching a team of successful soccer requires a lot of practice. This is the case for professional football teams, and this is also the case for teams of children. With that in mind, here are some great soccer drills for kids that you can use with your team.
1- With drilling door
First, gather cones. Use these cones to create a number of doors. Each door should be about three feet between the cones. Set up as many doors as you need. Once you've set up, divide your team into pairs of players. Now have a member of each team tries to pass the ball through a door to his or her partner. Every time the ball went through the door without touching a cone, a point will be awarded. The player from each team with the most points at the end wins.
2- Drilling Deposit
For this exercise, take eight cones and use them to form two grids. Each gate comprises four cones in a square formation with each cone two meters distance from the adjacent corner. The two gates should be approximately 20 meters apart from each other. A player in a grid is then asked to send the ball to a player in the other grid. This player tries to get the ball while keeping it in the grid before passing it back. If the player receives the ball while keeping it in the grid, he or she receives one point.
3- The Four Corner Drill shooting
For this exercise, you need a football field that is 25 by 40 meters in size. At each corner of the box, a cone is to be placed. This exercise also requires goalkeepers and regular goals. To play the drill, the coach first serves the ball to one of two players on the far side of the field.
The player who receives the ball then has three options. He or she can run in one touch away with a dribble or pass the ball to a teammate. If the ball is shot or sent out of bounds, players switch lines in drilling after leaving the field. The coach then used the new ball to a player in a far corner of the field. For most effective, have a lot of balls ready for this drill.
4- Catch or drill head
For this exercise, the coach is at the center of a circle formed by the players. The coach then throws the ball underhand to the first player. While the ball is in the air, the coach is shouting "head" or "capture". If the coach calls "head", the player must catch the ball. If the coach calls "capture", he or she shall direct the ball. If a player fails to do the opposite of what the coach said, he went out and must leave the circle. The coach then pulls the next player in the circle. The exercise continues until only one player remains. This player is the winner of the game.
Do not be afraid to make changes to these exercises as needed. Overall, the goal of these four soccer drills for kids is to improve the players' ability to make, receive, shoot and make quick decisions on the field.
