Soccerexercises for technique condition

Set up your team in 2 lines (4-5 per line max) - only 1 ball needed.

IMPLEMENTATION:

  • Players take the ball and then play it to the first person in the line opposite to them. Immediately after the pass they draw a sprint and close the back of the line they just played in. This is repeated over and over again.

QUALITY:

  • Players are all on their toes ready for the pass.
  • Passes are clear and accurate.
  • Players must shout if they want the ball to play, and also shout the name to whom they are passing again.
  • With the first ball contact they bring the ball under control, the second ball contact is the pass to the other player.

PROGRESS:

  • Apply only one pass.
  • Let one line pick up the ball and throw it back to the other line. They will then play the ball back with a volleypass and then simply join the other line.
  • Let players take the ball with their thigh and bring it under control after which they pass the ball back over the ground.
  • Place a pawn 5 meters on either side of the central point between the 2 lines. After the pass, the players have to walk around the pawn after which they connect in the row.
  • Split your team into four teams of four
  • 1 ball per team

IMPLEMENTATION:

  • Players play the ball around within their team of four in the area that was put out

QUALITY:

  • Players are constantly moving, with many tempo changes to find space.
  • Each team must try to maintain a diamond shape
  • Players must all communicate with teammates, the ball must be asked for and the player's name must be called by the person who is playing the ball.
  • Passes should arrive well, in space or in the feet.
  • Players should not touch each other, nor should the balls touch each other.
  • This exercise requires great vigilance on the part of the players.

PROGRESS:

  • Add a passive defender who can defend any ball.
  • Add a defender who can conquer the ball.

For this fun and interactive soccer warm up you let the players make a circle around you, about 15 meters away from you. So you are standing in the middle of the circle.

IMPLEMENTATION:

  • The starting point of the players is their place in the circle, they stay "jogging" in place.
  • Call: "Inside" and all players sprint towards you up to a meter or two away. Then they turn around and quickly sprint back to their spot where they keep moving.
  • Call: "Outside" and all players sprint away from you until you call "Back", then everyone returns to the starting position in the circle.

QUALITY:

  • Make sure players do not stand on their flat feet, but always on their toes.
  • Players should sweat heavily after this exercise.

PREVENTION:

  • You can apply different variations: sit-ups, push-ups, jump up, knees up by base position, sprint to the right or left while maintaining the circle shape.
