How to find good soccer drills for kids

December 29, 2009 by  

As most soccer coaches know, it is hard to keep soccer practices interesting and full of new drills. It is important to do this becuase kids need to be mentally stimulated by new things. Practicing the same old soccer drills will lead to an un-interesting practice with dis-interested kids. When you think your practices are becoming dull and you are looking for new ideas, there are several things you can do.

First of all, consult with other soccer coaches. Most soccer coaches love to share ideas about strategy and practice drills. You would be suprised at how willing other coaches are to share their ideas.

Invite another coach or former player to run practice. A completely fresh drill will sometimes be just the boost kids need. It also provides you with a fresh set of eyes that can help you see a new perspective on what the team needs to work on. It is like painting. When you paint a picture, you think it looks the best after you take a break from looking at it for a while. When you come back, your fresh eyes perceive it much different.

These days one of the best resources is the internet. Videos and coaching drills are all over the internet. You don’t have to be a soccer coach either. You can find ideas on hockey drills, football drills, basketball drills, and pretty much any sport. Make sure to get specific in your search too. Typing in Soccer Drills will yield a lot of results. Try Soccer Shooting Drills, or Soccer Passing Drills to get more specific. The same goes for video searches, the more specific the better.

    Try searching through the mp3 player's files, as the songs you have stored may be in a different file.
    Also make sure that the songs you downloaded were media player files.

    If that doesn't help, just bring it back to Tesco.
    Tell them I sent you!!!

    besides the usual keep it simple aspect ,two important things are: let the parents know that this is a game and in games you have fun so unless you ask for their advice or to help, you would appreciate it if they would allow you to decide how to coach. When I coached ( girl's fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball,girl's flag football, boys football and both girls and boys basketball) over a number of years i tried to have no parents at practice. And the most important thing is to make sure the kids understand that they are playing a game and right now they should have fun with it

    I'm beginning to realize the iPad, in fact, has very little to do with the actual Pad… The apps make it what anybody needs it to be specifically for them. Cook? It's PERFECT for you. Soccer Coach? It's PERFECT for you. Comic Book Reader? It's PERFECT for you. But because of these Apps. Wow. I've never seen anything like the rollout of this thing in my 30 years of paying attention.

    Maybe your the type of father that gets drunk every year the Superbowl comes around, and watches every sports game that's on and booses. Do you push him to like sports? are you the type of father that would look at him differently if he wanted to things like orchestra and band instead of football and baseball? Answer that first.
