Soccerexercises for u10
- Players are divided into equal groups.
- Each group tries to dribble the ball through the poles as fast as possible.
- The last one of each group must pick up the ball and stop it on the cone.
- Small field with small goals or cones.
- Player 1 moves with the ball from the corner point to a point on the field and leaves the ball there.
- Player 2 goes to pick up the ball and player 3 responds by defending.
- There is a 2v1
- At all outer pawns a player stands with ball
- At the signal of the coach they dribble to the pawn in the middle where they make a cutting move and dribble back again.
Variations
- 1. Dribble to the centre with the right and cut with the right

- 2. Dribble to the centre with right hand and cut with right hand.
- Dribble back slowly
- 2nd time with left to the middle and right to cut,
- dribble back slowly,
- so alternate every time.
Trainer can indicate how many times he wants the players to do a certain cut (in both variations) or he can make the players dribble at the same time (in the 2nd variation)

Explanation:
- The 2 slanting continuous lines are 2 mini goals
- The dotted line is the 'middle line' to get the right of attack.
- 4 to 8 players, in 2 teams or each player for himself
- Team/player with most points after a certain time/ number of points wins
Aim of the game:
- Blue plays the ball in to red
- Red has to dribble over the centre line to score in 1 of the 2 goals
- If he scores, he gets a point
- If blue takes the ball away, he can also score and thus gets a point
- When a point is scored or the ball is out both players join the other row and the next 1v1 starts.
Important:
- This exercise is about making an action.
- Therefore choose a certain move that the attackers can use to get past the defender
- If the attacker does this and scores from it: 2 points.
- The defender can never get more than 1 point when he scores.
- The attacker only gets 2 points if he passes the defender with this move
- if he already passed and then makes the move, he gets only 1 point
Variations:
Movements which can be trained are:
- Single scissors
- Double scissors
- Step over
- Zidane-turn
- Elastico/akka
- Reverse elastico/akka
- Iniesta/La croqueta
- Ball roll + Ronaldo chop
- Drag 'n roll
Focus points:
- Attacker's take: at least forward for speed in the attack
- Preferably sideways so that he is already running towards one goal and also creates space near the other goal
- Make sure that the defender applies pressure immediately after passing, so that the attacker has to react quickly
Explanation:
- Square is the playing field, marked out with pawns
- Horizontal dotted lines represent mini-gallies
- 2 teams of 3 to 4 players: set out several squares next to each other (also possible with 2 per team, but it is more fun with 2 or 4)
- Set out 4 gates of pawns
- Keep the playing field small so that you can act quickly.
Aim of the game:
- Blue plays a tight ball to red
- Red has to dribble through at least 2 gates and can score in 1 of the 2 goals.
- The ball can be taken away so that blue can also score
- When the ball is out both players join the back of the other row and the next 1v1 starts
Variations:
- When blue takes the ball he must dribble through at least 1 gate to be allowed to score
- same if ball is taken away again
- Red must dribble through 3 or even all 4 gates
- In 2 teams, the team that scores the most, wins.
- Make sure teammates do not bump into each other
- Everyone for himself
- The one with the most points after a certain time or with a certain number of points wins
Focus points:
- Good and tight 1st pass
- Good take off from red:
- forwards or sideways
- But do not deadlock it because you need to act quickly
- The man who passes the ball must apply pressure immediately so that this happens
- The ball must always be in motion and may not lie still
Contents
- Nr 1 enters into a 1 -2 with nr 2
- Nr 2 must get into the ball
- Nr 1 gives a depth pass to nr 3
- Nr 3 plays in to nr 4 who gets on the ball
- Nr 4 makes room for the incoming player
- Nr 3 plays to nr 5 in the width
- Nr 6 gets the ball and nr 5 determines by playing in whether he wants to have it to the left or to the right
- Nr 6 receives the ball and scores
Structure of the exercise form
- At number 1 players with one ball
- On nr 3 and nr 5 three players
- Move on from nr 1 to nr 6
- If no goalkeeper then nr 6 goes on target
- Increase/decrease the distances
- Play on the outside leg
- Make eye contact, create space and get on the ball.
- At position no. 2, 4 and 6 add a defender.
- Ball on the ground and/or through the air
Coaching
- At number 2, 4 and 6 first away from the ball and then get inside the ball.
- When nr 1 has control over the ball, then get inside the ball.
- Make sure that they do not play close to each other, because that is easy to defend
- No. 5 determines himself if he wants to have the ball l/re by the way he plays the ball.
- Pawns as on picture
- Pay attention to correct handball and running in etc.
- Chase the ball
- If one side has been then connect to other side
Divide the group in pairs and put each pair at a cone/hat, which you have divided on the centre circle:
- Leave the ball, which is at every cone, on the ground and let the whole group run around the circle;
- Make sure every pair is standing at a cone with the ball;
- Player 1 dribbles the ball to the centre spot and puts it down there;
- On the way back (without ball), Player 1 performs exercises (e.g. knee lifts);
- At the moment Player 1 returns, Player 2 starts the same exercises (e.g. knee lifts) and then retrieves the ball;
- Repeat and be creative with the exercises.
- We play 3 against 3, to the same goal.
- If one team loses the ball, the other team takes over the attack.
- The other team must always move back behind a cone.
- So that the defending team can set up. (must go quickly, practise switching).
- The team stands ready in 2 groups behind a pawn.
- They are given an exercise by the trainer and do it 1x. On the way back they run back and close behind.
- 2 players run at the same time. The next one leaves when the pair has passed the first hat.
- Exercises:
1. Jogging
2. Knee-up
3. Heel-to-belly
4. Sideways left
5. Sideways right
6. Arms swing front
7. Arms swing back
8. Jump over caps with 2 feet at the same time
9. Sprint to cap and back
10. Shoulder thrust and sprint
- The players form 3 groups
- 2 players stand by 1 pilon and the other opposite.
- The first of the two players receives the balls and plays the player across from her right in the feet. Then this one sprints to the player and stands by the pilon.
- The other takes the ball and plays the ball to the one opposite.
- This repeats itself.
- Because they work in 3 pairs, they are nice and active.
- Variation:
- There is dribbling with the ball at the foot.
- The exercise was mainly done to learn to move on after a pass.
- So pass and walk on.
- This in combination with crosses and finishing makes it a nice exercise for the boys (7-8 years) and useful as a match situation (also without resistance).
- 1 player red passes to blue player and runs towards the corner.
- 2 Player blue rebounds in the depth towards the corner.
- 3 Player red passes to incoming player blue.
- Player blue finishes off the ball.
Points of attention
- Good pass in.
- Get in the ball before the handover.
- Handover in the deep.
- Do not run in too early when finishing.
