3 Exercises for soccerDo you have tips for a youth soccer coach? ?
I know little about soccer, but we are trying to get it into the school. I am coaching 10-11 year old co-ed team and we start practice Tuesday.
Warm-Up:
-2 Laps around the field
For each hal lap half them do something different such as run backward or skip or hop. it may sound dumb but it gets them more loose and warmed up.
Stretch:
-Legs together and down, legs apart to the right/to the left/straight down.
-Quads.
-Groin (butterfly or squat).
-Ankle rolls (put toe into ground and move foot in circles).
-Calf stretch.
- Windmills with the arm forward/backward
Do each stretch for 15 seconds.
Drills:
Have each person get a partner and have them take turns tossing the ball to the other one and they return it a certain way (10 times each touch per person)
1. inside of foot
2. top of foot
3. thigh foot
4. chest foot
5. headers
try to make them alternate feet each time.
After that set up enough squares (about 10 meters x 10 meters) so that your team is split up so that 5 ppl are in each square. Have three ppl wear a vest of color and two go regular. The three colored players try to pass and dribble the ball to maintain possesion, while the two others try to take the ball. When a vest player loses the ball they trade the vest to defender who has been in the longest. All this is going on while keeping the ball in the box.
Next set up a scrimmage so that your team is just playing a small sided game 7v7 or whatever it works out to be. monitor there play and remind them to pass to players BEHIND them if they need it. Remind them to run open for passes and support each other when they have the ball. (Hint: width and depth whan they have the ball, compactness when on defence).
Then take some shots on goal by having the goal then about 25 feet out you stand while about another 25 feet they stand ina line with balls. They pass you the ball and you lay it off for them to run onto and take a shot. The goalie should be in the goal defending the shots.
At the end do sprints like this: start on the goal line, run to 6 yard box and back, 18 yard box and back, and half field and back. If they were bad do it twice. =)
Yup good luck.

Can u give me some training runs to help me achieve high fitness level for soccer!?
Training runs. How should i run to pass my beep test which is level 12.7
How many kilometers should i run a day?
5km?
how much money would it cost to start an elite soccer academy?
with elite facilities(land,grass,dorms,equipment,training room,gym)
elite coaches(top of their field in youth soccer development)
The average coaching time is 3 hrs per night and 6 hours at the weekend. This way the trainer gets to work with the players during the week and attend games at weekends at no extra charge to you.
Price
$950 per week (12 player team = $3.75 per hr. per player).
Where is a good site to get Goalie Drills for kids?
My daugher moved up to cometitive girls soccer. She wants to be goalie, not many do, and I wanted to get some drills we could practice at home.
Thank you.
it is really hard to find fre drills but i you want you can throw the ball alround the net in no pattern so she don’t pick it up as a pattern. the after she gets good with that then start kicking it at her net. she doesn’t have to catch every singlle ball.if you can catch the ball then do it but if it is to high to catch but still able to touch it just bump it over the net.
You can get drills if you want to spend money

What warm-up exercises should I be doing for soccer?
Years ago, I used to be a fairly good soccer player, but I haven’t played in a long time. I’m trying to start practicing again independently. The trouble is, I can’t remember what warm-ups our coach used to have us do.
Could someone give me a basic list of exercises I should be doing to warm up my body for a soccer practice?
This is a pre-season work out from one of the soccer gods John Terry
Session One
1. Five-minute jog to park.
2. Stretch.
3. 5 x three-quarter pace sprints from one touchline to the other and back (30 second recovery between each sprint).
4. 2.5 minute recovery (juggle a ball on the spot to develop your skills).
5. Repeat steps 3 – 4 then jog home.
Session Two
One set of the strength circuit:
10 x normal press ups (hands apart).
10 x double leg squats (feet shoulder width apart, hands behind head).
20 x abdominal crunches (knees bent, both feet on the ground).
10 x single leg squats.
10 x raised crunches (feet raised off the ground and crossed).
10 x close arm press ups (hands placed together).
These circuits kill two birds with one stone. As well as working on your fitness, your heart and lungs, at the same time they strengthen the muscles that you specifically use for football.
Session Three
Imagine the perimeter of a football pitch divided into six sections to run around. From one corner to the half-way line is one section, then on to the next corner flag is another. The goal-line is the next section, and then up to the half-way line is the next and so on until you are back where you began. These six sections provide the framework for this next drill.
1. Five-minute jog to park.
2. Run six laps of the pitch, in the following sequence:
– Sprint one section, jog five.
– Sprint two sections, jog four.
– Sprint three sections, jog three.
– Sprint four sections, jog two.
– Sprint five sections, jog one.
– Sprint all six sections.
Unless you get it spectacularly wrong, you will always be beginning your sprints from the same point on the pitch!

WEEK TWO
Session One
1. Five minute jog to park.
2. Stretch.
3. 5 x three-quarter pace sprints from one touchline to the other and back (20 second recovery between each sprint).
4. 2 minute recovery.
5. Repeat 3 – 4 then jog home.
Session Two
Two sets of the strength circuit (see below for details):
10 x normal press ups (hands apart).
10 x double leg squats (feet shoulder width apart, hands behind head).
20 x abdominal crunches (knees bent, both feet on the ground).
10 x single leg squats.
10 x raised crunches (feet raised off the ground and crossed).
10 x close arm press ups (hands placed together).
Session Three
1. Five-minute jog to park.
2. Stretch.
3. One lap of full-size football pitch (timed with stopwatch).
4. One lap jog for recovery (kick a ball as you go).
5. Repeat 3 – 4 four more times, on each fast lap attempting to match your first lap time.
6. Jog home.
————————————–…
WEEK THREE
Session One
1. Five minute jog to park.
2. Stretch.
3. 5 x sprints across the pitch and back, with 30 seconds recovery between each sprint.
4. 2.5 minutes rest.
5. 4 x sprints across the pitch and back, with 15 seconds recovery between each sprint.
6. 2.5 minutes rest.
7. 3 x timed sprints across the pitch and back, aiming for 30 seconds or less each time. The recovery time allowed between sprints depends on the time recorded (whatever is left out of the 30 seconds). So, a 24-second sprint earns six seconds recovery, a 30-second (or more) sprint earns no recovery!
8. 2.5 minutes rest.
9. Five minute jog home.
Session Two
Three sets of the super strength circuit:
15 x wide arm press ups (hands wide apart).
15 x double leg squats (feet shoulder width apart, hands behind head).
30 x abdominal crunches (knees bent, both feet on the ground).
20 x single leg squats.
20 x raised crunches (feet raised off the ground and crossed).
20 x normal press ups (hands placed together).
Session Three
Dividing the perimeter of the pitch into six sections as in Week One, Session Three, run laps of a football pitch in the following sequence:
– Sprint one section, jog one section for recovery.
– Sprint two, jog one.
– Sprint three, jog one.
– Sprint four, jog one.
– Sprint five, jog one.
– Sprint six.
– Jog six.
Session Four
Three sets of the strength circuit:
10 x normal press ups (hands apart).
10 x double leg squats (feet shoulder width apart, hands behind head).
20 x abdominal crunches (knees bent, both feet on the ground).
10 x single leg squats.
10 x raised crunches (feet raised off the ground and crossed).
10 x close arm press ups (hands placed together).
Also, kick a ball as much as possible. Dribble through your house, out to get the mail, as you sit on the couch etc
Also don’t skip on the running. I played soccer all through high school and tryouts were always used to see who has raw talent and then after the team was chose it was always 2-4 weeks of condition before games start. If you follow this training regime you’ll have quite the head start on most of the other girls
