Dribbling and Juggling (15 mins)

Good warmup exercise after FIFA. Divide the mini-field into how many players you have, and put a small cone gate in the middle. Let them individually work on dribbling, skills and turning. The little gate is their target to get through. After they are looking tired, do a juggling competition while they stay in their own 'box'. You can call out the skill, or teach a skill and make them try it.

Progressions:

  • Feet only, weak foot only
  • Crazy skill competition: give them 3 minutes to come up with something and demonstrate.
  • Combo juggles: Foot-thigh-shoulder-head-shoulder-thigh-foot and stall (or something similar, be creative!!!

Simple passing drill. Initially make the 'gate wide', narrow it as players progress.

  • Move to two touch
  • Competition: time for 90 seconds, count number of times you get it through gate: Kings/Queens' court: winners move left, losers right. Break tie with rock/paper/scissors
  • Depending on level of players: two touch (try to mess up your opponent) or unlimited touches.

Midfielder Activity (20 mins)

Midfielder drill. All three players start on the middle cone. When Player 1 moves left or right to a cone, Player 2 moves to the opposite cone, and player three moves to the same cone as #1 to create a triangle. Player 2 receives in an open position, and sends the ball to player 3. Player 3 receives and dribbles to the gate, and passes ball to player 4. Player 1 moves to middle, player 2 moves to player 3's spot.

Progressions: 

  • Allow player 2 to pass it back to player 1, and have Player 1 send the ball directly to player 3
  • Allow player 3's movement to set up the triangle (player 2 has to shoulder check)
  • Speed! Get them moving the ball faster.

Nothing But NET! (20 mins)

Nothing but net: players start (socially distanced, taking turns) shooting from close to the net. They have to score, and the ball can ONLY touch the net. Not the ground, not inside post. If they score they stay 'in', and move to the next level. Keep going until last player standing. Winner gets to pick a punishment (10 pushups, jumping jacks etc) for the rest of the cohort. You can make the distances based on age/shooting ability of the group. Middle goal can be a small goal, adjust distance accordingly. Can rotate nets.

Great exercise for end of practice. Players LOVE it.
