Talking about soccer drills, the most important thing for the players is to have an understanding of the game for which they should be taught the basics first. This soccer training should always come first in the training schedule before moving on to the more problematical aspects of training or the right approach to play the game. As a coach, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that players begin with hitting the right chord. So teach them all the essential soccer skills that form the basis of the game. Discussed below are some basics of the game that every budding player must know. Teach the players the skills of shooting and dribbling the ball: Players must first learn the two most basic techniques in soccer, dribbling and shooting. To become a successful player, these skills have a major role to play in their game. But, for teaching these soccer exercises, you should see that all preparations are made in advance. Starting from one end of the field put more than a few players over the field and line up all players in a straight line. Afterwards tell them to start. The players must then run around and attempt to catch the ball using their foot while dribbling and shooting it inside the goal on opposite side of the field. The players will improve on these two soccer drills soon after they continue practicing it on a regular basis. Passing the ball and following directions: Players learn the importance of team spirit as a result of these two soccer skills. In the end, soccer is a team game that must be jointly shared by all the team members. They can never learn to play as a team if they do not possess good passing skills, and do not know how to follow simple directions. For the purpose of teaching passing skills in the game and making them understand the guidelines, there is a really simple drill. Start with lining the team up in a single file line at one end of the field. Make a single team member stand in front of them about 5 to 10 feet away. When you give them a green signal, the first one in the row will try to get the ball from other players present on the field. When they are told to stop, the one with the ball should pass it on to the first player in the line. With the help of this soccer practice, players will learn to listen and also follow your directions. Handling the Ball: Since youre the coach, teach the players the skill to manage the ball with their feet and with other parts of their body as well. This has the effect of enabling the players to give a more spontaneous performance on field. The players can improve on this by practicing the use of heads and knees to throw the ball and stopping the using the back. Soccer drills like these help in developing players that become match winners and make their way to learning more difficult components of the game.
