Soccer drills for technique condition

In King Football, the players learn to pass well. 

  • 2 teams
  • Per team 1 King
  • 1 ball per team. (variation 1 ball if a game is played)
  • The teams move in the field in a square. 
  • The intention is that the ball is played over 3 times within your own team and then shot to the King. 
  • When the King takes it, there is a point for that team.
  • First, they practise within the team and then they play against each other. 
  • When the ball is taken away, it has to be counted again.




  • Hold each others right arm en bend through the knees in a squat position
  • Do the same with the left arm


partner-squat

  • Player 1 and Player 2 start dribbling at the same time. 
  • At the end they pass through pawns to the other side. 
  • The next player receives the ball and starts dribbling.

drawing Senior: Pass, dribble, pass, bounce back, finishing
  • Player 1 does exercises on the ladder
  • At the end of the ladder is a ball
  • With the ball he dribbles along pylons that are wide spread (conditioning)
  • At the last pylon he shoots at a small goal
  • Get your own ball, shoot back to the end of the ladder

drawing Senior: ladder + dribbling + shooting / passing

  • Then plays player 2 who waits by hat
  • Player 2 bounces the ball back on player 1
  • Player 1 finishes. 
  • Player 2 fetches ball and joins the back of the line
  • Player 1 runs to the pylon to bounce the ball back
drawing Dribbling & shooting - kids
  • Dribble in large square
  • Make small squares on the outside corners
  • Name the small squares
  • When calling the name, everyone must dribble to that square
  • Eventually you can work with a knockout system, so that the last 2 get eliminated.

2 teams

  • The players have to play football 4 against 2 and must have replayed at least 3 times in the attack and a maximum of 10 times before scoring.
  • When a ball is taken off/ touched/ crosses the line or a score is scored, there must be a switch between attacking and defending.  
  • When there is no overplay, no scoring is allowed. 
  • Pass and kick with variations in finishing and build-up
    • Keeper throws out, striker gets the ball and closes in
    • Keeper shoots out, playing striker with back to goal, striker turns away
drawing Passing, kicking and finishing
  • Ball in hand: 
    • Each time in front of the stick throw and catch ball.
    • Throw center to center along the short side.
    • Then third stick again the same as the first step.
  • Ball in foot: 
    • Tap ball with left before stick and control it after the stick.
    • Center pass along the short side.
    • Then third stick again the same as first step.
  • Coaches: 
    • 3 x stick yellow and 3 x stick red.
    • In the middle yellow and red next to each other. 
drawing Coordination: holding the ball with hands and feet
  • The players line up in a circle, 
  • Ideal is 6 to 8 players per circle. 
  • Per circle you only have one ball.

EXECUTION:

  • A player plays the ball to another player, chasing the ball towards the player he is playing. 
  • The second player receives the ball and plays it back to another player in the circle, 
  • He, too, will chase the ball towards the player he has just played in. 
  • This keeps repeating itself.

QUALITY:

  • Passes must be clear and accurate.
  • The passes are played over the ground, keep the ball low!
  • Just after the pass the players accelerate (short sprint)
  • Players call the name of the player they want to play in
  • All players constantly stand on their toes, not on flat feet, to improve the speed of action.

PROGRESS:

  • You can make the game more difficult by hitting once.
  • You can play with two balls
  • Player 1, who has given the pass, should try to tap the player who has played the pass (player 2) before playing the ball to player 3, etc.
