What it means is that they are looking for drills which the kids can practice by themselves. Drills which do not require any equipment are the best pick to kick start the training program. This is because soccer exercises like these can be designed to suit the player's age, learning potential, and the skills specific to his role in the team. The great drill to teach the players is to dribble a soccer ball and at the same time, be conscious of what is going on around them. This drill is used by many coaches and it is far better than asking your players to dribble through cones. Sure that that this drill demands more involvement from players but it makes sure of it in soccer practice. I'll definitely guide you through this. Mark a square of about 20 yards by 20 yards. The number of players and their age decides the size of this square. Have an identical number of players positioned evenly alongside the square. Every player should stand towards the inner side of the square and should have a ball of their own. As soon as the coach whistles, each player will dribble the ball to the opposite side and stop on the line opposite to them. Among the free soccer drills, this is simple yet effective in coaching the players to dribble the ball with their heads up and not crossing the other player's path as the move across the square. To add more fun into the drill, make the players dribble across the square and back again, compelling them to turn 180 degrees with the ball. The number of times the players have to dribble the ball need not be constant and that can be varying. Let them compete where the final player is eliminated until there is only one player left. Its good not to ask the players to dribble the ball but to run with the ball , when the players are only a few. You can have great fun with this drill and teach the kids many important aspects of dribbling with the ball. Some tough and light drills are added in the soccer training programs to make the event interesting. And it is okay if some are not directly related to soccer and are only meant to have fun. It is important in soccer coaching that kids shouldn't do too much of anything. When these free soccer drills are applied in your training programs, you make the kids to learn the essentials of the game quickly.
