Rules are followed. The drills can be formulated by you since you are the coach, the drills. Have an open mind to tweak the existing soccer exercises and alter them to suit your requirements. Here are some of the tips that can help you accomplish a creative soccer training program. Your plan should be accommodative. Not every plan will materialize as planned. The kids will be absent only when it rains or get sick. All the potential obstructers are listed ensure they are handled properly. It works well to have several soccer practice games ready. If there is any hiccup in execution of the plan remove it and proceed to the next agenda. Go through the motions and you can figure out what works best with the kids. All the kids should warm up before any practice session. The kids should use the soccer ball apart from using regular soccer skills to warm up their body. The kids can rotate the ball between their feets; kick the ball back and forth using their feet. The free soccer drills used for warming up are designed with a fun element and are available in plenty. Each player has access to one soccer ball at least. Now devise several individual activities that they can perform using the ball. The players should practice shooting, dribbling and hitting the ball against the wall etc. In order to prevent any restriction in movement of the players avoid using any lines or marks. Ensure the players are part of some group activities during soccer coaching upon completion of the individual activities. The drills like passing and receiving the balls are lot of fun. Without a goal keeper the kids should play soccer in teams. The players should be allowed to hit the goals without setting them any boundaries. Also, teach them to first attack and then defend. This will lead the players to hone their own individualistic skills. During this drill groups of teams should be formed by the players. Generally the kids will require some time to adjust to the concept of team play while shifting from individual to group activities. The nature of interaction between coach and the players should be that of guidance only. Make them realize the concept of interdependence to win matches. The drill ingrains the knowledge of playing as a group without doing much with the ball and to practice in a limited area. This is the easiest way to conduct a soccer exercise. Have an open idea to mix and add couple of free soccer drills that you think will make the kids learn soccer better.
