Technical Focus & Self-Paced Practice Drills

In the sport of soccer, technical skills are priceless. In addition to regular dribbling, passing and striking (as a team) we will be using the following drills in the videos below to develop greater technical proficiency. They will be referred to as Sequence 1, Sequence 2, Sequence 3 and Sequence 4.

We ask that you please share these sequences with your son and have them practice them (in the backyard or on a field) on his off or non-practice days. If you feel he needs more work, he can practice them more often (even daily). Through repetition and touches on the ball, there is no doubt that the player will improve substantially, as well as their confidence and self-efficacy as they become more technically proficient.

Directions: From time to time, he will be assigned a sequence to focus on, though in practice we will be working on multiple sequences. Each sequence should take 15-30 min. If he is having fun and is on a roll, longer would be fine. Your encouragement and guidance is helpful, especially at first, then periodic checkups would be advised (to keep him on task). If he finishes one sequence, then he can continue to the next for more practice ■
