Key Points: how to coach soccer 1.
Check your shoulders!
Most soccer players are constantly staring at the ball.
The best soccer players know how to look behind them prior to receiving the soccer ball to
see their options.
Soccer coaches always say know what to do with the ball before you get it, but most
never tell you how to know what to do.
This is how you know.
Soccer Drills.
2.
Look for defenders, passing options, spacing, etc.
When you check your shoulders take a mental picture of the field and decide what your
options are.
The best soccer players always have a few options at any given time.
soccer midfielder tips.
3.
Check both shoulders, not just one, so you get a 360 degree view.
In past OSA videos I’ve only taught you to check one shoulder.
That is a great starting point but as you get better you want to check both shoulders!
The order that I like to check my shoulders is my back shoulder first and then my forward
shoulder which is looking up the field.
football soccer.
So when I ask for the soccer ball I check my back shoulder first.
Then I look back at the soccer player passing to make sure they are still passing to me
and then I check my forward shoulder When I check my back shoulder I will see if soccer
defenders are sneaking up on me.
When I check my forward shoulder I will see the majority of the field.
soccer football.
I don’t want to do this fast because then I’m going to get dizzy and not have a clear
picture of what I saw, just blurred vision from turning my head to fast.
4.
Keep your body angled up the field.
soccer tip.
You do not want your back to the attacking part of the field.
If I stand like this what can I not see.
What’s behind me.
That is why I want to stand with my body angled up the field when I can so I can more easily
check my shoulders and see behind me.
soccer world.
5.
Check your shoulders early!
DO NOT wait for when the soccer ball is on top of you.
As soon as you see your teammate lifting their leg back to pass, start the process of checking
your shoulders.
6.
Do what the game shows you.
If a defender is coming and your best option is to pass it back, pass it back.
If there is space and you can turn, turn and dribble forward.
If you can turn and make a pass to a teammate, do it.
It sounds easy right, but it’s not easy to make it look easy.
Keep it simple and let the great plays happen, they will when you get into a rhythm.
Equipment Needed: soccer drills for kids - soccer videos
You are going to need as many balls as you have, six cones and a partner if you have
one.
If you don’t have a partner then use a wall or fence as your passing partner.
Exercise Player Can Do: how to play soccer A soccer training exercise we can do to practice.
Set up a cone where your partner will stand.
Then set up a cone where you will stand at an angle 10-15 yards forward.
Set up two cone goals 15 yards ahead of that.
Your partner will pass you the ball and say man on or turn.
If they say man on, check both shoulders and pass it back.
If they say turn, check both shoulders and take a touch forward, then pass the ball through
either cone goal.
You decide.
Go for two minutes or until you run out of balls.
Then switch with your partner.
Repeat until you get tired.
This is not a fitness exercise so don’t rush.
The main focus is the checking of your shoulders.
[Music]
Things to note: If your partner forgets to say man on or turn what do you do?
That’s when you make the choice because you make the choice in the game!
You will know what to do because you checked your shoulders.
Your teammate passing the ball should not pass it to hard.
We want the player receiving the ball to have a chance to check their shoulders because
that is what we are working on, we are not working on controlling 100 mile per hour passes.
What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: soccer postions Some things that could be going wrong.
If you are getting dizzy and feel like you are looking and not seeing anything then you
are turning your head to fast.
Take a quick look but give yourself a second to see something when you look.
Imagine you are taking a mental picture.
If the ball keeps hitting you and you aren’t looking at it when you recieve it then you
are checking your shoulders to late.
Right when you teammate brings their leg back to pass it that is when you should start the
process of checking your shoulders.
Even pros need to look at the ball when they receive it.
Bonus Tip!
free soccer tips Be confident and be patient!
It’s hard and it takes confidence and courage to take your eye off the ball when it’s
coming towards you but the more you practice the better you will be.
Adding this to your game will greatly increase your quality on the field.
This video is an advanced style of speed of play.
Normally when I coach speed of play “in person” at our OSA Soccer Camps I build
up to checking both shoulders.
Usually I start with checking just one shoulder.
So if you are not ready for both shoulders, that is okay, learn to check just one shoulder
