Excellent and effective
soccer drills must meet the following criteria:
- soccer drills must support the theme of the
practice session
- soccer drills must be targetted in complexity
towards the age group and the competitive level of your team and
players. They must motivate the players.
Young kids need fun motivational games, older and more competitive players need
more challenging exercises being motivated by accomplishment and competition.
- soccer drills must be easy to explain and
demonstrate.
- soccer drills must be designed for the space and
equipment available.
- soccer drills must be adaptable as the players go
through them to add or reduce the complexity.
- soccer drills must always show improvement in
players performance from beginning to the end of the drill.
- soccer drills must be relevant to game situations
and players must easily understand how they can translate what
they learned to a game. You can test this in the end-of-practice
scrimmage.
- soccer drills must keep players' attention and
interest and must keep players moving with a ball as much as
possible.
- soccer drills must allow for progression of
difficulty if the players catch on quickly.
- soccer drills must end on a successful note for
the players.
