Soccer
Warm-Up (10-15 minutes): 2 minutes: Light jogging around the field to increase heart rate. 3
minutes: High knees and butt kicks to further elevate heart rate and engage leg muscles. 4
minutes: Lateral shuffles and side-to-side movements to activate hip muscles. 6 minutes: Dynamic
stretches, including leg swings, hip circles, and arm circles.
Stretch (10 minutes): 2 minutes each: Quadriceps stretch, hamstring stretch, calf stretch, hip flexor
stretch, and groin stretch. Repeat each stretch 2-3 times, holding for 15-30 seconds.
Skill Development (20-30 minutes): Passing Drill (10 minutes): Set up cones and practice accurate
short and long passes. Focus on proper technique and quick ball movement. Dribbling Skills (10
minutes): Use cones to create a course for players to navigate while dribbling. Emphasize close ball
control and agility. Shooting Practice (10 minutes): Create shooting drills with target goals or
designated scoring areas. Work on accuracy and power in shooting.
Structured Drill (20-30 minutes): Defensive Drill (15 minutes): Set up a scenario with attackers and
defenders, emphasizing defensive positioning, marking, and interceptions. Possession Game (15
minutes): Play a small-sided game where one team aims to maintain possession while the other
team tries to regain the ball. Encourage quick passing and movement.
Game Simulation (20-30 minutes): Small-Sided Game (15 minutes): Divide the team into smaller
groups and play a 5v5 or 7v7 game. Emphasize teamwork, communication, and the application of
skills learned. Full-Field Game (15 minutes): Transition into a larger game setting with the entire
team. Focus on strategy, positioning, and team dynamics.
Remember to allow for short water breaks between each segment, and adjust the duration of
activities based on the players' fitness levels. This structured routine covers all essential aspects of
soccer training, from warm-up to game simulation.
