Soccerexercises for u15
Execution
- Pass the ball and move quickly.
Field Setup
- Mark out a field with four cones, 10 by 10 metres.
- Divide the players into two groups. One group moves horizontally from left to right. The other group moves vertically from bottom to top.
- At the whistle signal, players return to their starting position.
- Players must not touch each other or the ball of another player. In case of contact, both the player and the one who is touched receive a penalty point.
- Crossing is only allowed at the whistle signal from the trainer.
Setup
- Place three cones as reference points in a triangle.
- Players stand in pairs at each cone.
- The rear player performs the exercise.
- The player gets open from the player in front.
- A firm, hard pass is given along the ground.
- The receiver controls the ball with the furthest foot and passes to the next player.
- After the pass, the player sprints to the cone where they passed the ball.
- The player takes position in front of the player still standing there.
- Accurate and firm passing.
- Good one-touch ball control.
- Getting free from the defender.
Setup
- Large cones are placed 3 meters outside the penalty area.
- Player C stands 10 meters outside the penalty area.
- The distance between C and B is 10 meters.
- The distance between B and A is 5 meters.
- Large cones act as opponents.
- Player A passes the ball to player B.
- B turns away from the opponent towards the inside and plays a through pass between the defenders into the running path of C.
- Player C finishes on goal.
- After the action, A becomes player B, B becomes C, and C retrieves the ball and joins the back of the line.
- The exercise then starts on the other side.
- Ensure that player C does not leave too early to avoid being offside.
- Do not leave too late, otherwise the goalkeeper can easily collect the ball.
Objective
- Practise switching sides during a match.
- Quickly transition from defending to attacking.
- Set up the goals with different coloured cones.
- Adjust the field size as desired, depending on the number of players.
- Form two teams; playing with a numerical disadvantage or advantage is possible but not necessary.
- Emphasise teamwork, not individual scoring.
- Start with a passing round, then call out a colour of a cone and they must score there.
- Continue scoring at that goal until a new colour is called.
- Begin with a new colour every 30-60 seconds, increase the pace if it goes well.
- Add an extra dimension by passing the ball in from the side when the ball is out.
- Players must come to the ball, otherwise the ball is not played.
- Adjust the level of difficulty to the team's level.
Content

- At the other side, the roles are reversed.
- Player 2 walks forwards towards the ball and heads it into the hands of Player 1.
- Practice both heading, throwing at knee height, and executing a dropkick.

- A player passes the ball to another player and follows the ball towards the player he passes to. The second player receives the ball and passes it to another player in the circle, also following the ball. This process continues to repeat.
- Passes must be clear and accurate. The passes are played on the ground, keep the ball low!
- Just after the pass, players accelerate with a short sprint.
